Fireball (zipper insurance, 2 sizes)

Fireball

The Zipper Stopper!!

The Fireball helps prevent Zippers by cushioning airframes from the severe shock of ejection. It softens and spreads the destructive force of shock cords on the lip of your airframe.

100% Kevlar™ - so it's Fire-Resistant and
S-T-R-O-N-G.


Zippers are linear airframe fractures caused by the impact of shock cords on the lip of your rocket airframe during deployment. They are among the most common forms of damage to high power rockets. Zippers are frustrating, time-consuming, and extremely costly. Many certifications attempts have been lost due to zipper damage.

The Fireball cushions your airframe against this destructive force.
