Review Summary

The E12 motors are generally considered an improvement over the E9 motors, offering comparable initial thrust to a D12 and the ability to launch heavier rockets with a slightly longer burn time. They perform well in various rocket models, though some users reported issues with the provided plugs being too small and inconsistent starter quality. While they provide decent power and altitude, there are mentions of potentially better alternatives from other brands.

Better than E9-4

By: Chrisudy

These E12-4 motors are much better than E9-4 motors in most situations. The initial thrust is roughly comparable to a D12 (and much better than E9). Use in just about any rocket that specifies an E9-4. Good flights on Interceptor E, Mega Mosquito, Maxi Alpha III.

Much Better Than E9 Motors

By: FinBurner (Brandonbacn@outlook.com)

These E12 engines are much better than their E9 cousins. They are basically a D12 motor with 1 extra second of burn time. The initial thrust of the E12 can launch much heavier rockets than an E9.

Good motor, but a few issues...

By: S. Youngblood

The motor as a whole was good, the only issues were the fact that the plug provided was much to small. (I had to use a C11-3 plug) Secondly, if you are looking for an E motor to use, Aerotech has much better ones.
