This is Estes new multi-stage rocket with three simultaneously firing upper stages. The booster returns with tumble recovery, the three nearly identical upper stages return with tumble recovery also, after popping off the nose cones. The three upper stages are shaped to form a hexagon when combined on the booster stages. Each upper stage has three fins. The booster uses a B6-0 or C6-0, while the upper stages use the A10-3T mini-motors.

Don't follow Estes instructions to use external masking tape! The burned residue is awful!
All three stage 2 motors have just lit and the three IRVs pull away from the booster.
