Brief:
What? No more 10.5mm motors for your Apogee Micro V2? No problem! See how I built an adapter unit t' let me Micro V2 fly on 13mm motors.

Construction:
T' major parts include:

• - One completed Apogee Micro V2
• - 1 ¾" o' 13mm tubing
• - ¼" o' a mini motor casing
• - ¾" o' a micro motor casing
• - Balsa fin stock
• - One wood screw (or other nose weight)

Construction is simple. Blimey! Insert and glue t' section o' micro motor casing into t' section o' mini motor casing. Begad! In turn, ya bilge rat, me hearties, matey, glue this into t' 13mm tubing with t' mini motor casin' flush with t' end o' t' tube. Ahoy! Blimey! For t' fins, I traced t' aft contour o' t' Micro V2 fins and then extended t' pattern to make fin extensions that fit below t' existin' fins and run t' length of t' 13mm tube. Ya scallywag! Blimey! I cut these from 1/16" balsa. When gluin' them on, I inserted t' motor adapter into t' Micro V2 and then used t' existin' fins t' align t' new ones. Finally, ya bilge rat, me hearties, I had t' add some nose weight, so I grabbed a 'surplus' wood screw, and inserted it into t' nose cone, through t' existin' clay. Avast, me proud beauty! My CG with t' booster unit inserted but no motor, me bucko, me bucko, is 4 inches from t' tip o' the nose cone. Blimey! That much nose weight wasn't required, me hearties, ya bilge rat, but I wasn't worried about the loss o' performance.

Flight:
I friction fit t' extension into t' Micro V2 with some maskin' tape, and did the same for t' A10-3 motor. T' boost be relatively fast and thar was some wobble or coning, me hearties, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, I couldn't tell which. Begad!

Recovery:
Recovery was via t' Micro V2's streamer and be successful. Arrr!

Summary:
This is an easy way t' keep your Micro V2 flyin' until Tim comes t' his senses and resumes production o' his micro motors!
