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. Well, blow me down! Insert and glue t' section o' micro motor casing into t' section o' mini motor casing. Well, blow me down! Begad! In turn, glue this into t' 13mm tubing with t' mini motor casin' flush with t' end o' t' tube. Begad! For t' fins, matey, me bucko, 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. Well, blow me down! Avast! I cut these from 1/16" balsa. Ahoy! When gluin' them on, I inserted t' motor adapter into t' Micro V2 and then used t' existin' fins t' align t' new ones. Aye aye! Finally, arrr, I had t' add some nose weight, so I grabbed a 'surplus' wood screw, me bucko, and inserted it into t' nose cone, through t' existin' clay. My CG with t' booster unit inserted but no motor, is 4 inches from t' tip o' the nose cone. That much nose weight wasn't required, me bucko, 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. Avast, me proud beauty! T' boost was relatively fast and thar be some wobble or coning, ya bilge rat, I couldn't tell which. Aye aye!

Recovery:
Recovery was via t' Micro V2's streamer and was successful. Begad! Aye aye!

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!
