Estes 2265 15-Inch Parachute, Flying-Model-Rocket Recovery Attachment, Rocket Model Kit Accessories for Ages 10+

Product Description Estes 2265 15-Inch (38-centimeter) Parachute for model rockets is a vital accessory for any successful Estes rocket launch. This model rocket parachute has a preassembled 2-color design intended for model rockets that need more drag than a 12-inch parachute provides but less drag than an 18-inch parachute. Ideal for mid-power, large-body, or payload rockets, it ensures safe recovery and adds visual flair at apogee (the peak point of altitude). Suitable for ages 10+ (with adult supervision for those under 12), this parachute is a key piece of equipment for any rocket recovery kit.Before each launch, ensure your parachute is usable by checking for tears, burns, or warped plastic, and make sure that its shroud lines are secure. Use recovery wadding to prevent heat damage from the rocket model’s engine ignition, and fold the parachute for storage in a dry place to prevent tangling or damage before launch. 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 This 15 in. (38 cm) parachute is preassembled and ready to use on model rockets that require a 15 in. parachute. The perfect size when an 18 in. parachute is too big and a 12 in. parachute is too small.

• RECOVERY PARACHUTE FOR ROCKET MODEL KIT: Estes rocket model kits require a recovery system for a safe trip back to Earth after every launch. This preassembled 2265 15-inch (38-centimeter) Parachute comes ready to help you recover mid-power, large-body, payload, and other rocket types that need a bit more drag during their descent
• 2-COLOR DESIGN: The 2265 15-Inch Parachute features a 2-color design to add some style in the sky after your Estes rocket hits apogee (the peak point of altitude). This rocket parachute is intended for use by ages 10+ with adult supervision for ages 12 and under. Always replace a parachute when it appears torn or damaged, and always use recovery wadding to protect it from rocket engine heat.
• LAUNCH NECESSITY: Whether you’re working with a beginner model-rocket-building kit or an advanced-level replica, a recovery parachute belongs in every rocket recovery kit. This rocket model parachute is perfectly sized for rockets that are too small for an 18-inch parachute and too large for a 12-inch parachute.
• 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!
