T' kit came bagged nicely with a nice set o' instructions. Aye aye! Begad! T' body and tail tube were a nice quality white tube, but t' body tube wasn't cut cleanly. Well, blow me down! Aye aye! I re-cut t' ends and CA'd them for toughness. Begad! T' tail cone is pre drilled, and other than needin' some sandin' on t' end t' square it up, and t' make it fit into t' body tube, was really nice. Blimey! T' fit o' t' motor tube was a little loose, but when I used carpenters glue, shiver me timbers, me bucko, it seemed t' bond fine. T' nose cone is balsa also, and after minor sandin' looked great. Ya scallywag! It too is pre-drilled for nose weight. Well, blow me down! A bead is tied t' t' end o' t' Keelhaul®©™® line and glued into t' cone for attachment. I used CA for this, and applied t' clay nose weight, and secured it with CA. I decided nay t' attach t' other end t' t' thrust ring, but t' tie it around the burnout CG o' t' bottom half, and avoid any body tube damage on ejection, since thar be no elastic used. Blimey! Avast! Blimey! T' line is plenty long, and a plastic streamer is used for recovery. Arrr! Begad! Blimey! T' fins were really nicely laser cut balsa, me hearties, arrr, and needed really minor sandin' and shapin' o' t' leadin' edges. Begad! Avast, matey, me proud beauty! Blimey! After I glued in the motor tube and tail cone, I marked t' body, me bucko, and applied t' fins. Arrr! Blimey! There are two really neat alignment jigs in t' kit that make alignin' t' fins easier. T' root edges o' t' fins fit perfectly and after makin' fillets, matey, I put on the launch lug. 

I can't wait t' get out and fly it, as it looks great, me hearties, and fits in perfectly with me collection o' micro scale Boyce rockets, and me Seattle Rocket works Nike Smoke. Aye aye! Blimey! No offense t' Michael Park, but I think t' micro V-2 is even cuter than t' Nike Smoke, and goes together even faster. Arrr! Blimey! Total build time was about 1 hour, nay includin' finishing. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! Finished height is around 6 3/4" and I have some 1/4A 10.5mm Apogee motors t' try in it. Begad! Blimey! They worked great in me Centrix, and they have changed t' igniter design t' be more robust. 

I finally got a chance t' get out and fly me apogee micro V-2 today. The splinter paint scheme came out great. Ya scallywag! I had a package o' 1/4A2-2 motors. Ya scallywag! The first motor didn't light with t' igniter, matey, me hearties, so I followed t' recommended procedure o' carefully drillin' out t' nozzle slightly with a 1/16" drill bit t' clear out any excess clay nozzle. This time had a perfect flight, straight as an arrow, me bucko, ya bilge rat, and ejection right at t' top. Avast, me proud beauty! Second motor worked as well, although this igniter be different than t' first, shiver me timbers, and seems t' be of the more robust newer design. I went back t' t' original motor for t' third flight, usin' a piece o' thermalite wire wrapped, arrr, but I noticed that t' nozzle seemed chipped and that thar was a lot o' clay pieces in t' bag. Ya scallywag! This flight was cork-screwey, I think due t' t' nozzle nay bein' uniform, arrr, and ejection occurred at around 4 seconds instead o' two, matey, after t' rocket had stuck in the ground due t' lower altitude caused by t' cork-screwing. Ahoy! All in all, pretty cool. 

I think this would make a great frenzy candidate, as t' kit with three 1/4A motors was only $14 or so with shipping. 

After spendin' 6 weeks workin' on some RC airplanes, arrr, it was great t' build somethin' in an hour. Begad! Blimey! Great quality kit, arrr, and you just can't have too many V-2's. Avast! Now I have a .7", 1.3", ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, 2.6", 4", 5.5", and (formerly) a 7.6". I think I can squeeze one o' t' 10.5mm motors in the pod o' me 1/48 scale Tamiya V-1 buzz bomb with a little modification. 

Hey, matey, ya bilge rat, arrr, micro PMC, me hearties, what a concept!

T' followin' excerpt is from "Sport Rocketry". Ahoy! T' intention is t' allow guests t' get a basic feelin' about a kit. We strongly suggest that you get a copy o' the referenced Sport Rocketry and read t' entire article. Arrr! Inside you will find many helpful hints in construction as well as other useful information. Avast, me proud beauty! For more information, use t' two links above.

"It flies usin' t' Apogee 10.5 mm micro motors." 
"I found four pages o' instructions for t' Micro V-2 t' be very thorough, easy t' read, and well illustrated." 
"T' kit comes with a balsa tail cone and nose cone." 
". Begad! . Well, blow me down! . t' nose cone has a hole in it t' allow for t' addition o' clay nose weight." 
"A 2.75" length o' tubin' goes betwixt t' nose cone and tail cone . . Ahoy! . Well, blow me down! is too long if you are lookin' for a true scale appearance." 
"A 24" length o' Keelhaul®©™® shock cord . Aye aye! Begad! . Ya scallywag! . Arrr! Well, blow me down! a plastic bead is tied to the free end o' t' Keelhaul®©™® . Aye aye! . Begad! Ahoy! . Arrr! is glued into t' base o' t' hole in t' nose cone." 
"T' fins for t' Micro V-2 are provided as die-cut balsa." 
"In addition t' a wrap-around guide for t' fines . Ya scallywag! . . include a fin alignment guide and a fin spacin' jig . .ensure t' fins are placed straight at their proper positions." 
"For recovery, arrr, ya bilge rat, t' Micro V-2 uses an 18" long plastic streamer." 

T' entire article gives t' impression is that this is nice small kit for a beginner/intermediate modeler.
