Estes 2274 Recovery Wadding Features
-
RECOVERY WADDING FOR ROCKET MODEL KIT: Estes rocket model kits require Recovery Wadding for a safe trip back to earth after every launch. This pack of 75 flame-resistant 2274 Recovery Wadding sheets provides enough material for about 18–25 flights, depending on how many sheets your model-rocket type requires.
-
MOTOR & PARACHUTE PROTECTION: 2274 Recovery Wadding aids in heat protection during ejection in most Estes rockets. It helps prevent the rocket parachute from absorbing the heat from the motor’s ejection charge and getting melted or singed. This wadding is intended for use by ages 10+ with adult supervision for ages 12 and under.
-
LAUNCH NECESSITY: Whether you’re working with a beginner model-rocket-building kit or an advanced-level replica, this wadding belongs in every rocket recovery kit. Place a few or several sheets (based on the level of rocket motor you're using) between the motor and parachute to protect against ejection heat.
-
SAFETY FIRST, FUN ALWAYS: Our rockets and rocket launch accessories are designed to be used with the NAR (National Association of Rocketry) model-rocket safety code. Always ensure you have an appropriate launch site, stand back at least 15 ft., insert the safety key, issue a countdown, and then you can let your rocket fly!

WE IGNITE IMAGINATIONS: Since 1958, Estes has created educational rocket kits designed for an unforgettable launch experience. As a family-owned company, we have grown to offer exciting STEM products that engage aspiring rocketeers and the future minds of aerospace.
About Estes 2274 Recovery Wadding
Product Description Estes 2274 Recovery Wadding for model rockets is a vital accessory for any successful Estes rocket launch. This pack includes 75 sheets of flame-resistant 2274 Recovery Wadding designed to protect your rocket’s recovery system. The wadding ensures safe parachute deployment by preventing damage from ejection charges, helping your model rocket shoot for the stars and then safely come down to earth to prepare for a future launch. These sheets are necessary for most Estes rockets (unless the rocket features tumble recovery) and are not reusable after the rocket flies. To use this wadding, place several sheets between the rocket’s motor and the parachute to protect the parachute from the intense heat produced during ejection. Depending on your motor type, you may need a few to several sheets for each flight. Without wadding, plastic parachutes can melt or singe, affecting the rocket’s performance. This pack contains enough sheets for 18–25 launches, ensuring many successful missions and fun outer-space-like adventures when paired with any of the compatible Estes rocket models. Always follow the NAR (National Association of Rocketry) model-rocket safety code during rocket kit operations. Estes rocket kits are built from the highest-quality components and designed around the unforgettable experience of pressing “launch.” Our hobby and STEM educational science products range across all skill levels, interests, and power levels. Unleash the space dreamer and science enthusiast in you with an Estes model rocket! From the Manufacturer Flame resistant wadding protects recovery system. Required for most Estes rockets.
