Which Estes Honest John and which V-2? There were three different kits of each.

In any event, Google JimZ Rocket Plans

That would be the "Maxi" Honest John kit #2166.

JimZ doesn't have that listed. Neither does YORP.

Anybody have a set?

There were two D-power V-2's by Estes as well.
One was the BT-101 ~4" diameter Maxi-Brute and there was the smaller BT-80 sized one that also used a D motor.
The original was BT-55 based and used A to C 18mm engines.

There wasn't a BT-101 Honest John.

The Maxi Honest John used a BT-80.

That's what fooled me! They changed the kit number.
