I need to make a few streamers for low power estes type rockets and wondering what others are using assuming your not using what came with the kit. I must have misread the description and thought it was streamer recovery but it came with a chute.
Thanks

a 2" wide strip cut from a roll of crepe paper works well

I thought that would tear to bits on the way down .

Like the paper streamer type stuff you hang at parties, etc?

Crepe paper is a crinkly paper( softish) sold in flattened rolls of about 18" x 1yard from which you just cut with scissors a 2" strip/roll off the end. The crepe flutters and creates more drag than the smooth party streamer would.

Thanks... I'll give it a try...

You can also get mylar wrapping paper for presents from the gift section of wamart and target. It's almost the identical material that rocket shops sell. And it's very shiney..
