The SkyGuard Flight Consumables Kit provides the small hardware components most commonly lost or damaged during balloon missions.
Each kit includes new top and bottom retaining rings and a water-blocking plug, allowing your SkyGuard Cutdown System to be quickly serviced and ready for the next flight.
These components are designed as replace-after-flight consumables, since they may separate with the balloon during cutdown or experience impact stress during launch/flight. Keeping a few extra kits on hand ensures smooth field operations and consistent mechanical performance without risking your mission to reused hardware.
Recommended replacement: after each flight or any time a retaining ring or plug shows visible wear or deformation.
