Back in July when Hobby Lobby had their 50% off sale, powerburner got me a Estes 4" V-2 kit (No HL is South Carolina) It has been sitting in my office/rocket room ever since.......
Well, I was waiting for a shipment from Commonwealth so I can continue with my 3X Estes Bullput..... I was also waiting for some epoxy to dry on my LOC Expeditor........
So what should I do while I am waiting........Start my V-2 upgrade project.......
Yes I am going to over-build it........... Overkill should be my middle name........ So here goes......... 29mm motor mount, 1/8" birchwood centering rings, nylon chute and composite matterial fins are the planned upgrades........
First off I rough cut the fins out of a honeycomb composite matterial......... I guy from our club sold it to me........
