Skill Level 2 This model rocket is very similar to the OOP Centuri SuperScale V2. Like the other ASP V - 2 kits, this model has a Pre-Drilled Balsa Boattail & Pre-Weighted Nose Cone, basswood fins and is accurately scaled.
Designed primarily to fly on D12 motors, it will also fly "outta - sight" on a composite E!
The real V - 2 ("Vengeance Weapon 2") is perhaps the most famous, and certainly the most infamous, rocket ever built. Designed by Werner von Braun for the Nazi war effort during WWII, the V - 2 was the world's first large liquid-fueled rocket. Originally designated the A - 4, thousands were built by prisoners during the early 1940s. After the war, many captured V - 2s were flown by the U.S. as well as the Soviet Union. Despite its' horrific inception as a weapon of destruction, the V - 2 was the forerunner of all the large liquid-fuel rockets which were to follow.
