Built and flown on an A8-3. One suggestion on the build, tape the two body tubes together after joining them to make sure they stay aligned. Mine ended up a bit skewed.

The A8-3 was not exciting but showed the rocket will fly.

Rocket engines did not disappoint. Every single engine ignited on countdown.

Worker great, my original item was damaged during shipling. Item was immediately replaced.

I love Estes Rockets, I have loved them since my first one when I was like 10 years old. I have had many throughout my life and now I get to share the experience with my daughter and son. Our first 2 from this purchase we launched with the C6-5 motors and lost both :)

All good though, part of the rocketry experience. These are very powerful motors.

The fact that you have a solid build video has inspired me to put this rocket on my future buy list. I've always struggled with the weight of a rocket when building two stage rockets. They always come out to heavy and slow off the pad because I over build them. I will use your video to build this rocket exactly as advertised. Personally, I'd like to see more of these videos in the future, especially on the complex rocket builds. Thanks!

Very authentic, perfect gift for retirement, relaxing to assemble

order came in within days, everything I hoped for, wish I had ordered more.

I purchased this rocket for my wife which are her favorite springtime colors. Went together in less than an hour. The bright colors will make it easy to see on a C6-5 to 1100ft! Great job Estes!

I have not used the nylon chute yet but I expect it to be easier to deploy and more heat
resistant. It is a bit heaver.

I Luv the 4" Nosecones, Great for Red Max n Goblin Scratch Builds

The catalog took me back to the 1970s when we were kids and used to get them in the mail! Thanks for still printing a catalogue!

Was great to receive the new catalog last week. I devoured every page and had a great time reliving memories of my Alpha and Big Bertha rockets from my 6th grade (1968-1969) year. Our science teacher helped us to learn about the space program, NASA and of course, build and launch our rockets. We followed the Apollo program and anticipated the moon landing to come. He instilled a love of model rocketry, astronomy and science in me that is still alive nearly 6 decades later. Thank you Estes and Mr. Schultz!

went together fast , looks great cant wait to launch it

Rockets away with this fun beginner kit for first timers.

Thanks to the customer service department for making things right. I appreciate the friendly assistance from Denise.
