Not sure where else to post this question but it does have something to do with recovery.

I know ejection charges can be quite hot. If a charge is right next to or even inside a polypropylene nose cone, does the nose require some sort of heat protection? If so, what or how would one do that?


Thanks, gary 7
 
Ejection charge is not going go melt the nose cone (duration is too short for that), but it would be a good idea to use wadding or Kevlar cloth to protect shock cord and other components.
