Using a Cloth Heat Shield In Your Rocket

This video shows how to install a reusable heat shield blanket in your rocket, so that you can eliminate the need for recovery wadding.
The heat shields are made either from welding cloth, or from Nomex™. They are used to protect the nylon cloth parachute from the head of the ejection charge in the rocket, and to prevent holes from being burned into the canopy.
The size of the heat shield cloth that you need will depend on the diameter of the rocket tube. See the Apogee website for guidance when selecting a heat shield.

I ordered a few of these Nomex parachute protectors from Apogee. For low-power rockets, though, the shields are pretty small (3x3). I assumed that once you have it connected properly to the shock cord, you would just place it into the tube body as you would any other wadding, and then place the folded parachute in behind it. I'm not sure that the parachute(s) I am using with these smaller 1.5 inch tubes would actually fit entirely in the Nomex protector. Is there any danger that not wrapping the parachute up entirely within the protector will mean that the protector will not sufficiently protect the parachute? Thanks.

For regular deployment my rockets all have baffles which work well (not to mention provide an excellent shock cord anchor) , so I can't tell you about that. For dual deployment, it definitely won't protect the chute like that. I wrapped the chute up in regular paper wadding which worked great and didn't take up scarce real-estate in the small diameter airframe. All that said, damage from the burning cinders of the deployment charge is always a danger no matter what.

Just don't put strips of foyel in the tube

Sliding up the shock cord? You mean like this: wildlightimagingstudio.com/img/s/v-10/p2592661076-6.jpg LOC IV Cesaroni I540 launched 6/5/21. The rocket "helicoptered down" to a good touchdown and we knew something wasn't right with the recovery system. We couldn't tell what was wrong until I got to the rocket and saw that the protector had slide up to but thankfully not over the shroud lines. Improvements have been made but this video confirmed what I thought was going on.

Your videos are great, thanks

Glad to help out.

hi, hope you are well. any recommended website to buy parachutes, drogue, and shock cords?

@billbrett365 3 года назад

Just mount the parachute in the nose cone, no need for wadding. The shock cord should go below the parachute.

@tikidrummerpoi 2 года назад

Do you folks have anything on how to use drogue chutes/when are they necessary/how do you pack them?

@apogeerockets 2 года назад

On our website, we have a special section called "Dual Deployment." That is where you'd use the drogue parachute. Packing them is the same as packing a regular chute.

We use pistons on our HP Rockets. Does the same job as the nomax.

Didn't know about this! Thanks for the heads up!

@wademcdaniel8264 Год назад

Is it possible to use this with a Jolly Logic Chute Release?

@apogeerockets Год назад

Sure. Go for it.

@WiliiamNoTell 3 года назад

Great video , thanks for sharing. Seriously thinking about getting back to rocketry . Any videos for obtaining classification and where. Thanks!

If you going to get back in it they are the best 👌

@chrisschafer4899 3 года назад

Is there any reason to not put the shock cord or some of it in the protection with the chute?

@apogeerockets 3 года назад

The shock cord is usually beefy and can take the heat of the ejection charge. But you could use a shock-cord protector on it if you feel it is necessary.

This is great. I have to say Apogee has the best selection and best looking & quality parachutes. Wayyy better than the thin cheap chutes Estes includes. Ever since getting into rockets with my 4-year old, we use flame resistant cloths and apogee chutes. (Wadding is so wasteful and tends to make a mess on the launch field)

@apogeerockets Год назад

Thanks. I"m glad you're satisfied with your selection from ApogeeRockets.com We appreciate your endorsement.
