Excellent! Is there a reference posted somewhere in the threads for the scale fins?

FYI James Duffy is an ace modeler and FAI Spacemodeling competitor. You could do alot worse than copy his work. Thanks James. I'm going to use his fin template on my next V2 build.

I remember seeing that thread now. Thanks.

This is my version of the V2. I ditched the clay and put 30 grams of BB's and epoxy in the nose secured with pieces of brass rod. The engine hook was missing from the kit and I ended up using an "E"size hook ,3 3/4". It has an added payload section for housing an altimeter. Length is now just short of 27". Nose is secured with plastic rivets. Built with epoxy throughout. Shock cord is about 10' of the 300#Kevlar cord. 16" nylon parachute. Jolly LogicLchute release. I fly it on Aerotech DMS motors, E20, E30, and F32.
