The Estes B6-2 engine brings dependable, real world performance to your backyard launches. Designed around a stable thrust curve and a short, accurate delay, this engine helps rockets lift cleanly and deploy recovery at the right moment. Its compact 18 mm diameter and modest weight make it a versatile option across many beginner and intermediate kits, so you get great flights without fuss.

Beyond raw numbers, the B6-2 stands out for reliability. Estes manufactures and tests every engine to strict quality standards so each pack delivers consistent ignition and burn characteristics.
