When using a ejection baffle, do you need a fire blanket or some other form of parachute protection?
My experience is no. I had pretty good luck with the baffles I used. They do deteriorate and need to be "refreshed" as the other poster mentioned.When using a ejection baffle, do you need a fire blanket or some other form of parachute protection?
I found this thread in a search for info on baffles, and I wanted to ask how you keep the parachute package in the top of the body tube under acceleration without a baffle. The rocket I'm building has a coupler 14" above the motor tube. The plan was to use that coupler as a baffle, with the parachute sitting on top of it, wrapped in a Nomex blanket.I'm always baffled by why people use baffles.
