(Deuce's Wild) 29mm Deuce's Wild!

Brief:
I made this upscale Deuce's Wild! sometime ago. Begad! It uses two 29mm 180 cases. Begad! I have flown it on all o' t' AeroTech reloads for that case except t' G-75J. Begad! Begad! Amazingly, it flew once on a single H165 accidentally and was stable but t' delay was way late. Begad! It sustained minor damage and has since been repaired.

In a follow up email, ya bilge rat, me hearties, Mike added:

My friend Todd Graves purchased a Deuce's Wild! Blimey! kit from you last sprin' I think. Well, blow me down! Blimey! I thought it would be cool t' upscale it. Well, blow me down! I took your motor mount centerin' rings and scanned them on me computer and scaled them up t' fit in a LOC 3" tube. Well, blow me down! Blimey! I cut them out o' plywood with a hole saw. Ahoy! T' nose cone is a standard LOC 3" nose cone. Well, shiver me timbers, blow me down! Blimey! T' fins I cut from G-10 fiberglass. I built t' rocket in RockSim with straight motor tubes instead o' canted and balanced t' rocket from that. Arrr! Ya scallywag! Blimey! Unfortunately, we lost t' stock Deuce at an Iowa launch as I'd put 2 D13-10 reloads in it and a slightly bigger than stock chute. Begad! Ahoy! Blimey! We had a problem with it breakin' a fin loose with t' stock chute.
