The Asp v2 I built is from my understanding an older model as the basswood fins where not precut. nor where the detail parts.
opening the simple bag and looking at the parts you get the following
instructions ( 8 pages printed front and back on 4 sheets 8 1/2 x 11 paper folded
detail sheet( fin template, marking guides, ect)
body tube
balsa prewaighted nose cone
balsa tail boat
basswood fin meterial
detailing strips one balsa one basswood
motor mount tube
thrust ring
retaining ring
recovery system (parachute and 1/4" shock cord)
launch lug
parts
First step is to trace and cut out the fins from the basswood.
fin patterns
After cutting the fins its time to sand and mark the boat tail. then glue the fins on. this was rather painstaking because the glue didn't want to stick to the basswood. till i roughed up the root edge with low grit sandpaper.
