great rocket on the pad and on display Review by Nathanael

this is an amazing rocket that flies ALMOST as well as it looks. it is a straightforward yet slightly complex assembly. it looks amazing and is really stunning to see go off. it takes off and tends to fly slightly to the left immedietaly after liftoff. after the second stage lights it streightens out and flys nice. this is my favorite rocket to launch.

great rocket Review by nute

This is one of my favorite rockets. it flies great as a single or double stage. i have launched it a few times and the A10-3T seems to have a pretty short delay when launched on top of B. it is pretty simple construction and the first stage is built tough enough to to survive a rough landing. the upper stage comes down beautifully as long as the parachute opens fully. if it sticks just a bit, it comes down pretty fast. this rocket is beautiful when it shoots.skywards veers slightly to the left (Posted on 8/3/12)

My first two stager Review by Taylor

this rocket has never given me a problem. it flies great, looks great, and it is a pretty straight forward build. make sure the recovery wadding is touching the body tube walls though or it will melt the recovery system, other than that flaw on my part it is a great rocket and i will reccomend it to anyone. Keep up the good work with rocket designs Estes! (Posted on 5/20/12)

Great Review by Geof

My first rocket that finally worked as a two stage. It was pretty reliable, even though I lost the nose cone. After I replaced it, I'm looking forward to another incredible launch. (Posted on 3/25/12)

AWSOME 2 STAGER!!!!! Review by jacob0174

AWESOME 2 stage rocket. It was my first 2 sage rocket and it was the PERFECT one. It doesn't fly too high especially on a B6-0. the booster stage pops of low and easy to find. the assembly is complex (should be a level 3 kit so isn't too hard). DEFINITELY GET IT.(PS: you MUST wrap the nose cone bottom with quite a bit masking tape or it will pop off: i was lucky enough to find it gladly but definitely make sure you do that).

I cant see Review by Alexander

Awesome two stager and to make it even better it has the ironic fin design yet flies like a true champion. Cool rocket and a must have as well. (Posted on 12/6/11)

cool looking rocket Review by Dean

This is one of the coolest looking rockets you'll find. This rocket took me about two days to build but it was worth it. The rocket turned out great. This rockets internal parts are very delicate so be very carful when building. Also many of the parts are cardboard and tight fitting so although this keeps the rocket together you have to be very delicate. This rocket is still one of my favorites but not a good choice for your first rocket. (Posted on 10/4/11)
