Estes Recovery Wadding (EST2274)
Estes Recovery Wadding is a flame-resistant packing material designed to shield the parachute in model rockets from the heat of the ejection charge. Placed between the motor and the parachute, this wadding prevents plastic chutes from singeing or melting and helps ensure a clean, reliable parachute deployment. It’s a staple for most Estes rocket builds unless tumble recovery is used.
Each pack contains 75 sheets—enough for roughly 18–25 flights—so builders can tailor the amount to their motor size and kit. Lightweight and easy to tear to fit, it provides practical protection during launches and helps extend the life of the parachute and recovery gear.

Overview
Estes Recovery Wadding is essential for ensuring the safe operation of model rockets, featuring a flame-resistant design that protects the recovery system during launch. This recovery wadding is specifically required for most Estes rockets, except those utilizing tumble recovery.
The wadding is placed between the rocket motor and the parachute to shield the parachute from possible damage caused by the ejection charge. Without recovery wadding, plastic parachutes risk singeing or melting when exposed directly to the motor's ejection force. Each package contains 75 sheets of recovery wadding, which is sufficient for approximately 18 to 25 flights, making it a vital component for any model rocket launch.
