Its short thrust duration of 0.6 seconds provides a quick lift-off while leaving plenty of time for a safe recovery sequence.
This engine can lift rockets weighing up to 2.0 oz (57 g), making it best suited for mini engine-powered models with 13mm engine mounts. It reaches impressive speeds and altitudes with a max thrust of 6.8 newtons, delivering a strong initial push before handing off to recovery deployment. The 4-second time delay offers sufficient coasting time for many light rockets before the ejection charge fires.
The compact design—just 1.8 inches in length and weighing only 0.28 oz—ensures a perfect fit in small model rockets where space and mass efficiency are critical. Despite its small size, the A3-4T engine packs a dependable performance punch, thanks to Estes’ precise engineering and safety-tested reliability.
