Frequently Asked Questions
What do Estes Parachutes do?
Estes Parachutes deploy after the rocket reaches the top of its flight, slowing the rocket's descent and helping reduce the risk of damage during landing.
When should I replace my Estes parachute?
Replace your parachute if it becomes torn, melted, tangled beyond repair, or shows signs of excessive wear from repeated launches.
How do I choose the correct parachute size?
Select the parachute size recommended for your specific rocket model. Using the proper size helps provide safe descent rates and reliable recovery performance.
Do I still need recovery wadding when using a parachute?
