Details
The A8-3 is one of Estes’ most popular engines—and for good reason. With a powerful yet manageable thrust profile, it’s designed to launch lightweight model rockets up to 500 feet. The 3-second delay allows the rocket to coast at apogee before deploying the recovery system, resulting in picture-perfect flights and gentle landings.
This engine is ideal for use in smaller, single-stage rockets and offers a great introduction to model rocketry. Whether you're learning the basics or refining your skills, the A8-3 provides a reliable and predictable flight experience that helps build confidence with every launch.
Each A8-3 engine is precision-manufactured for consistent performance, so you can trust it to deliver a thrilling liftoff and smooth recovery every time. It's an excellent option for schools, camps, STEM programs, or anyone seeking a safe and satisfying launch.
The A8-3 three-pack includes everything needed for multiple flights, including starters, plugs, and recovery wadding. Just add your favorite Estes rocket and a launch system, and you're ready to take off.
The Estes A8-3 engine is a reliable choice for launching standard-size model rockets to impressive heights. Designed for rockets weighing less than 3.0 ounces, it delivers consistent thrust and a smooth 3-second delay for parachute deployment.
Perfect for beginners and seasoned rocketeers alike, the A8-3 offers a balanced flight profile that makes it ideal for classroom demonstrations, youth group launches, and everyday backyard fun.

Jesse C...I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!
John C.The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.
Robert C.I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.
Mischelle F....I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
