Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the correct Estes rocket engine?
Always use the engine recommended in your rocket's instructions. The correct engine depends on the rocket's size, weight, motor mount diameter, and intended flight performance.
What is the difference between A, B, C, D, E, F, and G engines?
Each letter represents an increase in total impulse and performance. Higher-letter engines generally provide greater thrust and altitude, but they are only suitable for rockets specifically designed to use them.
What do 13mm, 18mm, 24mm, and 29mm mean?
These measurements refer to the diameter of the rocket engine. Your rocket's motor mount determines which engine size is compatible.
Do Estes rocket engines include starters?
Many Estes engine packs include starters and starter plugs, but contents can vary by product. Always review the individual product listing for included components.
Can I use a larger engine than my rocket recommends?
No. Always use only the engine types specifically recommended by Estes for your rocket. Using an incorrect engine may result in unsafe flight characteristics or damage to the rocket.
