title: Classificazione motori per razzimodellismo
text: # Classificazione motori per razzimodellismo
  
  I motori per razzimodellismo sono classificati con il valore dell'impulso totale designato con una lettera, da A (il più piccolo, ½A, ¼A, ⅛A) fino a O, il più grande. La classe A va da 1.26 Ns a 2.5 N·s, ogni classe successiva ha un valore doppio della precedente, per esempio classe B tra 2.51 a 5.00 N·s. Motori oltre la O sono al di fuori del campo amatoriale, e sono utilizzati da organizzazioni commerciali o governative.
  
  Esempio, la lettera M rappresenta un impulso totale compreso tra 5,120.01 e 10,240.00 N·s.
