Reviews

The reviews highlight that these motors are reliable and well-suited for small, lightweight rockets, especially in confined or windy launch areas like parks. They are praised for consistent ignition and performance, with very few failures noted even after extensive use. However, they are not recommended for heavier rockets due to insufficient power, and caution is advised as they can still pose risks.

Great For Small Fields
This is a good motor for small rockets in small fields, such as parks. I've never had an issue with reliability and the included igniter plugs make for reliable ignition.
For small rockets
Good rocket for beginners you would have to try pretty hard to hurt yourself with it but only use it on light wieght rockets
Never Failed
Not to sound like an Estes fan boy, but I have probably launched a hundred of these motors during my life time and probably seen 3 times that number by others. I can honestly say that I have seen a failure to ignite or problem during thrust, ejection etc. probably only 2-3 times that can be attributed to the motor alone. (Igniter failure, short etc. excluded). Given that most of these launches were for young kids, myself included at one time, this is probably a good thing. I would dread the day my 6 year old daughter's rocket that she colored by hand goes up in smoke the wrong way.
