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.
Trusted by educators across the country, Estes engines are designed for safety, simplicity, and educational value. Whether you're teaching Newton's Laws, trajectory planning, or engineering design, the C6-5 Flight Pack supports real-world learning through an unforgettable launch experience.
