Flew the V-2 for the first time today on a D-12-5. She lumbered off the pad and got tp about 250, started the very scale like return to Earth and the chute opened and landed safely. Scale fins are stable and I added no nose weight.
Here’s some not so good cell phone video. I believe a better one today was made today by our new member Nathan and I’ll post that later.
And this video show the aftermath.
I couldn’t be more pleased. Next time I’ll use a E for more power. First flights I always use low power to see it flight capability.
BTW I didn’t use 1/2 oz. cloth on the fins for this build. Just CA without kicker and they held very well with no cracks or breaks.
