T' kit came bagged nicely with a nice set o' instructions. Aye aye! T' body and tail tube were a nice quality white tube, but t' body tube wasn't cut cleanly. Aye aye! I re-cut t' ends and CA'd them for toughness. Ahoy! Ya scallywag! T' tail cone is pre drilled, arrr, and other than needin' some sandin' on t' end t' square it up, and t' make it fit into t' body tube, me hearties, was really nice. Begad! Begad! T' fit o' t' motor tube was a little loose, but when I used carpenters glue, arrr, it seemed t' bond fine. Avast, me proud beauty! T' nose cone is balsa also, me hearties, ya bilge rat, and after minor sandin' looked great. Ahoy! It too is pre-drilled for nose weight. Ahoy! 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, me hearties, arrr, and secured it with CA. Begad! I decided nay t' attach t' other end t' t' thrust ring, me bucko, but t' tie it around the burnout CG o' t' bottom half, shiver me timbers, and avoid any body tube damage on ejection, since thar be no elastic used. Begad! T' line is plenty long, and a plastic streamer is used for recovery. Begad! Well, blow me down! T' fins were really nicely laser cut balsa, and needed really minor sandin' and shapin' o' t' leadin' edges. Begad! After I glued in the motor tube and tail cone, I marked t' body, and applied t' fins. Well, matey, blow me down! 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, me hearties, as it looks great, me bucko, and fits in perfectly with me collection o' micro scale Boyce rockets, and me Seattle Rocket works Nike Smoke. Aye aye! No offense t' Michael Park, but I think t' micro V-2 is even cuter than t' Nike Smoke, me hearties, me bucko, and goes together even faster. Total build time was about 1 hour, nay includin' finishing. Well, blow me down! Finished height is around 6 3/4" and I have some 1/4A 10.5mm Apogee motors t' try in it. Begad! They worked great in me Centrix, ya bilge rat, 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. Aye aye! The splinter paint scheme came out great. Avast! I had a package o' 1/4A2-2 motors. Ya scallywag! The first motor didn't light with t' igniter, 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. Well, arrr, blow me down! This time had a perfect flight, straight as an arrow, me bucko, and ejection right at t' top. Well, blow me down! Avast, me proud beauty! Second motor worked as well, arrr, shiver me timbers, although this igniter be different than t' first, matey, and seems t' be of the more robust newer design. Ahoy! I went back t' t' original motor for t' third flight, arrr, usin' a piece o' thermalite wire wrapped, arrr, but I noticed that t' nozzle seemed chipped and that thar be a lot o' clay pieces in t' bag. This flight was cork-screwey, me bucko, ya bilge rat, me bucko, I think due t' t' nozzle nay bein' uniform, ya bilge rat, 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. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! All in all, shiver me timbers, me hearties, pretty cool. 

I think this would make a great frenzy candidate, as t' kit with three 1/4A motors be 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. Great quality kit, matey, and you just can't have too many V-2's. Blimey! Blimey! Now I have a .7", 1.3", me bucko, 2.6", 4", ya bilge rat, 5.5", and (formerly) a 7.6". Begad! 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, micro PMC, ya bilge rat, what a concept! Blimey!

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