Overview

The Estes C6-5 Engine Flight Pack is a reliable, classroom-ready propulsion option designed to support hands-on STEM learning through model rocketry. Ideal for middle and high school programs, this engine works well with a wide range of mid-weight, single-stage rockets and delivers consistent flight performance—making it a dependable choice for instructional use and student experiments.

Each pack includes 3 C6-5 engines, 4 starters, 4 reusable plugs, and 12 sheets of flame-resistant recovery wadding. These components provide everything needed for three complete launches, making it easy to integrate into multi-day lessons, science fairs, or rocketry units. The included wadding protects parachutes from heat damage during ejection, ensuring rockets are safe for repeat use.

The C6-5 engine features a powerful thrust phase followed by a 5-second delay, ideal for rockets weighing up to 4 ounces. This delay provides students with a valuable opportunity to observe coast time and the precise moment of parachute deployment, enhancing their understanding of flight dynamics and recovery systems.
