Single-use G motor intended to be used in single-stage rockets powered by a single motor.
Unique composite fuel is up to three times more powerful than conventional black-powder based hobby rocket motors.
5-1/4" model rocket motor comes with a 5-1/2" copperhead igniter.
Very technically advanced. Uses the same propellant as America's space boosters.
Detailed instructions for ignition and launching.

Great motor nice slow burn!!

By: rbeard2 (Dayton, OH)

Another cool engine from Aerotech. The G40 burns for about 2.5 seconds and is a great choice for rockets that have been upgraded from 24mm motors to 29mm motors. This is because with the higher initial impulse motors (like the G80) the thrust spike may be too much for the structure of the upgraded rocket. This G40 combined with a First Fire Jr. ignitor is THE hot combo for upgraded mid-power rockets!

Great all around motor

By: c_f_bender

One of my favorite single use motors. Good visual flame, and not so much punch that the rocket is gone too fast to enjoy it. Also, a good long 2+ second burn time. Perfect motor for 1-2 lb rockets.
