Engine bulk pack for group launches

The Estes A8-3 bulk pack supplies 24 single-use model rocket engines together with 30 igniters, 24 starter plugs and 75 sheets of recovery wadding. It is designed for educators, youth-group leaders and rocket clubs that run multiple launches in a single session. The quantity covers a full class or club event without needing separate re-orders.

A8-3 impulse class determines altitude

Each engine in the pack is an Estes A8-3, a low-power class suited to lightweight rockets such as the Alpha, Alpha III, Generic E2X, Wizard and Viking. The A8-3 delay timing lets the rocket coast to apogee before deploying its recovery system, so the flight profile remains visible from launch to landing.

Bundled consumables remove extra purchases

The 30 igniters and 24 reusable plugs provide enough starters for every engine plus a few spares for misfires. The 75 wadding sheets protect parachutes or streamers from ejection-charge heat across all 24 flights, eliminating the need to buy ignition or recovery supplies separately.

Questions about this item

What does the A8-3 designation tell me about the thrust and delay of each engine?

The A8-3 code means each engine delivers an average thrust of 8 newtons with a 3-second delay before the ejection charge fires, so the parachute deploys near apogee for a complete flight profile.

Are the included igniters and plugs compatible with standard Estes launch controllers?

Yes, the 30 starters and 24 reusable plugs are designed for the standard Estes launch system, so they work with the same controller clips used on Alpha, Wizard, Viking and other Estes rockets.

How much space do the 24 engines, 30 igniters, 24 plugs and 75 wadding sheets need for storage?

The bulk pack fits in a compact cardboard box roughly the size of a shoebox, easily stored on a shelf or in a range box for club launches.
