A package arrived at my front door today. It was from Hostile Projectiles.

I’m quite certain that I must be on some kind of watch list. I’m always getting packages marked either Toy Rocket Propellant or Rocket Propellant or Explosive or something to that effect. Now one arrives that says “Hostile Projectiles”.

Anyway I opened up the box and found the components needed to build the V-23. Some of the parts were free within the well protected confines of the box. Others were inside one of three separate plastic bags. I was impressed with the quality of all parts, and especially impressed with the quality of the nose cone, boat tail and canopy.

The parts included:
BT-60 body tube
Nosecone (nicely detailed)
Boat Tail (nicely detailed)
Canopy (nicely detailed) (not listed on parts listed in instructions)
Styrene Tube (gets glued to inside of cC for screw eye to attach to) (not listed on parts listed in instructions)
Pre assembled engine mount (yes that’s right pre assembled)
Two sheets of 1/8 x 4 inch balsa
200 lb test string
Shock Cord (31 inches in length)
Tape Disks
Trash Bag Chute
Screw Eye
Snap Swivel
Two 8 ½ x11 fin templates (with grain direction)
Decal Sheet
CD Instructions (with PDF printable instructions, pictures, backup templates and decal sheets)
