Default Estes V-2 2.6 in. dia.

Looking for an Estes V-2 to build, so an opened kit is OK. Not sure of the kit number, but the one I'm looking for is 2.6 in. in diameter and about 22 in. long. If anyone has one in their stash that they would be willing to part with please PM me or reply to this thread. Thanks.

Joe

Don't have one to sell, but had the header card for the latest version near me. The stock # for the one available about 4 or 5 years ago is #1904.

The mosre recent Canadian Arrow X-prize kit can be built into a V2, might be the V2 kit with different decor ?

ALso, the Silver Comet kit has the correct boatail and tube, but the cone has a canopy added, so swap to a PNC-80K and you;re good to go, less fins.

I have a sealed Silver Comet I;d let go, bought iit to make a V2 from actually.. I also have a used set of fins off an orginal 2.6" estes V2 that hung in a tree for months, if someone wants em .

Yeah, they look really nice! I'll just go after a Canadian Arrow. So, anybody out there got one of those they are willing to sell?

They are the Canadian Arrow length. I think to make it scale you need to cut it down about 3.75 inches but if that's not a concern then I can tell you that it fly's really well on a a variety of reloads. Sue (Roadkill) and other have flown them alot. Not sure but I think she has a warehouse full of them.
