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

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

In a follow up email, Mike added:

My friend Todd Graves purchased a Deuce's Wild! kit from you last sprin' I think. Ahoy! I thought it would be cool t' upscale it. Aye aye! I took your motor mount centerin' rings and scanned them on me computer and scaled them up t' fit in a LOC 3" tube. Begad! I cut them out o' plywood with a hole saw. T' nose cone is a standard LOC 3" nose cone. T' fins I cut from G-10 fiberglass. Well, blow me down! Begad! I built t' rocket in RockSim with straight motor tubes instead o' canted and balanced t' rocket from that. Unfortunately, me bucko, matey, 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. We had a problem with it breakin' a fin loose with t' stock chute.
