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.

I messed up a part.

I messed up the 3rd stage foundation wrap for my Saturn V. I sent in a support ticket to see if I could order one separately. To my total surprise the support ticket was answered within 24 hours stating a new one was on the way with no charge. I m buying ALL of my supplies from Estes now

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.

Perfect for the Blue Origin! My grandson is all about it.
