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.

extra powerful

the Super in these "Super C" motors definitely gives the rockets a nice extra push UP

C5-3: Great engine!

Used the C5-3 on my 3rd flight of my " Boosted Bertha" 2nd stage. The C5-3 on the 3rd flight put it almost out of sight! My Grandson who launched it shouted out loud when the 2nd stage ignited. You could hear it on the ground! The smoke trail was easy to see. ' Chute deployed as advertised. Unfortunately our Boosted Bertha was grabbed by a rocket eating tree as it floated down to earth. No chance of getting it back. :-(

CGreat for Blue Origin, too powerful for Mars Destination

C5-5 worked well in a baseball field with surrounding mature trees. Blue Origin didn't get too high or drift away -- three successful launches/recoveries. Not so for the Mars Destination, which went much higher, and we lost it to the trees after launch three -- it went A LOT higher than the Blue Origin, even though this was the recommended low-end engine. The kids had a blast but were very bummed out to lose one of their favorites (another one has been ordered). Next time, we will use B6-4 engines in the Mars Destination to keep the drift to a minimum.
