Top Flight Parachute Protector 9x9" for up to 3" Diameter Rockets

The reusable Top Flight parachute protector is made of a thick, flame-resistant material. It protects the recovery system in body tubes up to 3" in diameter.

Parachute protectors act as "permanent recovery wadding." Run your rocket's shock cord through the "button hole" in the 'chute protector so that the protector is below the parachute. Since it is attached to the shock cord, it stays with the rocket and you don't loose it. Fold up the parachute and most of the shock cord then wrap the protector around them and slide everything back into the rocket.

While you don't have to use recovery wadding with a parachute protector, we recommend that you add one or two sheets of recovery wadding (or some cellulose insulation - aka "dog barf") into the rocket's body tube before you put the protector and 'chute back in. This will help protect the shock cord a little better and it will help the parachute protector to last longer and not get as dirty.

The actual color of the parachute protector may vary from what is shown in the photograph.
