Some o' these designs are nay actually kitbashes, however, me hearties, all come from t' basic motor design feature o' t' FlisKits Deuce's Wild.
Brief:
I made this upscale Deuce's Wild! sometime ago. Avast! It uses two 29mm 180 cases. Aye aye! Well, matey, blow me down! I have flown it on all o' t' AeroTech reloads for that case except t' G-75J. Blimey! Amazingly, it flew once on a single H165 accidentally and be stable but t' delay was way late. Begad! Arrr! It sustained minor damage and has since been repaired.
In a follow up email, shiver me timbers, Mike added:
My friend Todd Graves purchased a Deuce's Wild! Blimey! kit from you last sprin' I think. Well, ya bilge rat, blow me down! Blimey! I thought it would be cool t' upscale it. Arrr! Blimey! I took your motor mount centerin' rings and scanned them on me computer and scaled them up t' fit in a LOC 3" tube. Avast! I cut them out o' plywood with a hole saw. Aye aye! Blimey! T' nose cone is a standard LOC 3" nose cone. Begad! Blimey! T' fins I cut from G-10 fiberglass. Ya scallywag! Blimey! I built t' rocket in RockSim with straight motor tubes instead o' canted and balanced t' rocket from that. Well, blow me down! 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. We had a problem with it breakin' a fin loose with t' stock chute.
