Favorite 3-stager ever Review by Matt

After building the original years ago and losing both boosters, I decided to try this mini version knowing I won't be out as much. Wouldn't you know it, the boosters came right down within 20 yards of the launch pad. Cuts through the wind better, and seems much more stable when going up. Without wind, this has been the straightest rocket I've ever launched. (Posted on 2/7/13)

Lots of fun, but... Review by Juice

My daughter and I built the model and have enjoyed it, but the motors are very tight on ours, too. Be careful loading the motors as the body tubes can buckle if you force too hard. I thought the second stage would be able to hold the motor as it was tight, but it didn't, so the second stage motor mount is burned through. Looking for parts to repair it, but can still launch as a two stager with the third stage. (Posted on 9/24/12)

Mini Comanche 3 Review by arr

this rocket looks pretty good but the instructions were not so detailed. I didn't launch it but i tried putting engines in it and it was a really tight fit. Probably not the best for beginners but good kit if you've built a few before (Posted on 6/1/12)

commanche 3 Review by barry

By far the most enjoyable rocket I have ever flown.The rockets shape and with 3 stages, to recover after launching on c motors was awesome.I have been dreaming of a smaller three stage and THIS ONE IS IT FOR SURE. The smaller 3 stage Comanche should enable the owner to view the ignition of all 3 stages within sight. (Posted on 3/12/12)

BUY THIS ROCKET!! This is the sweetest multi-stage on the market! The build was a lot of fun and went together well. This rocket goes up like a shot and it goes WAY UP!! This is a fun and impressive rocket The decals are great and add a nice touch to this rocket. If you haven't tried any multi-stage rockets yet, get this thing! It's simply sweet (Posted on 1/13/12)

I agree, the full-size rocket is beautiful and fun to watch. Hope the little one will be great too. (Posted on 12/18/11)

Amazing Model Review by Alexander

I would highly recommend this to any who has flown the Comanche 3. At long last Estes has read my thoughts for I have dreamt of a mini sized version of the Comanche 3. Awesome model to own for those 3 stage flying rocket lovers. (Posted on 11/23/11)

My opinion Review by Alex S.

As I first bought and flew the Comanche 3 I was amazed by the preformance. After that it hit me. I thought of making a mini sized Comanche 3 using estes mini engines. It appears my thoughts came true. If the Comanche 3 is an amazing fly I would suggest this one to be the same and I would recommend it to anyone who loves the three staging affects from this amazing model. (Posted on 11/23/11)
