Seems Fred mentioned that the never-issued MPC C9 was supposed to have been for these two plastic kits. I never knew anyone who had one of these kits back in the day or reports of flights on other motors.

The old "fly or display" Vostok had two recommended MPC engines
The C6-4 and C9-3
MPC made a C6-4. I never saw a C9-3.
I would think an Estes C6-3 would be fine for a low altitude flight.
(Don't use a Quest C6-3 in this one . . .)
