Overview

The Estes C5-3 engine means 50% increase in maximum thrust over a standard C engine and the punch you need to propel those heavier rockets off the pad. The Super C is a great choice for larger birds and for payload rockets, like competition egg-lofters, that need that extra push.

Please do a C5-0!

Love the C5-3, great for my heavy draggy 18 mm scratch built rocket.

Please put out a C5-0!

This would open up the world of two stage 18mm designs that would be more reliable and less prone to weathercocking.

If you put out a C5-0, you could re-release the MIRV. It would go from borderline to outstanding flight profile.

Absolutely a great powerful engine! Extremely reliable and powerful enough to provide a dependable flight! This engine delivers an incredible amount of thrust to propel just about any rocket to amazing heights! I highly recommend the great Estes C5-3 engine to consistently provide reliability & efficiency for amazing flights for Estes rockets that demand this engine that Elon Musk would be proud of!!!!
