I just noticed some comments about how others had the same issue with the motor mount as I. I too inserted the mount further up into the tube to allow a level stand on all three fins while on the shelf. Is there a problem doing this? It shouldn't cause the rocket to fly erratic right...

Over the weekend between watching the Masters play Golf and reading the Rocket masters here on TRF I have found inspiration to get my first Deuce built. Peter, your build has helped me very much! Thank YOU! My progress thus far.... I am thinking Pink & Black.....

Am I the only one that feels this kit is screaming to be dipped in Chrome? Just something my 6 year old said before we started using Black and Yellow....... Thoughts?? :confused:

This was one of my favorite kits. I built it the first time from scratch using the Estes Designer kit. After 2 flights the Sky gods took it. C6-5 was a little to strong that day. Found this kit on ebay a few years back. Finally built and completed. Looking forward to see it soar...

I asked my six year old what colors we should paint it. It looks like he has been on TRF and saw your kit Marc! This was my first time papering fins. Happy the way it came out. I can not wait to reach up into the sky with it!

Wow... :y: I recall picking one up as a youth in the 80's at a garage sale. I built my first scratch built kit - TartTar.. (fins were on the template sheets) The gods took it on my first launch. After that I used the majority of it to build the tallest most unstable rocket a 12 year old...

Very Clever!! I did not have my first morning cup of Joe yet when coming onto the site this AM. I needed my morning TRF fix too.... Great joke indeed!

I purchased 2 Baby Berthas @ 9.99 and only Ventris was stamped $9.99 also. They had a Leviathin not tagged + many Pro series motors no tags either. My son and I walked out with all 3 kits total $27.66. Just getting back into the hobby I am not ready to make the step into the larger...

The chute is part #035814 on the instructions.

Yes.... The camera on the phone washed it out...

Yes.... It was the only one with a price tag. I was there with my son just to get a baby Bertha. I could not resist....

On a whim went into the local HL with my son.... SCORE!! 40% coupon also....

This weekends score!!

Tres to win!

Started my very first one this afternoon. The Deuce is Wild!

Kevlar shock cord added to the motor mount. After seeing this method I am convinced that there is no reason a chute will be stuck in the tube.... Thank You TRF for this kind of information!!

THANK YOU for the encouragement !! No way am I giving up! I recall the ugliest paint job I had done on a rocket (Mavrick) was one my best fliers on all engine sizes! I have not even put my first one up since jumping back in... This will be my 7th kit completed in less than 7 weeks...

Not happy with the way it came out. BUT.... I would very much recommend this kit to anyone. I never had this kit growing up but loved seeing it launch and it also was strung above me in science class. My deviation from the instructions: (Other than gluing my finger to the rocket)...

Well the rookie has done it.... I have managed to ruin a perfectly good rocket. My painting skills are horrible. Sanding the nose block and the balsa nose cone down to fit within the clear payload tube I failed to plan on leaving room for visible painted areas. 72 hour dry time I...

:mad: This evening we have had major issues with Kylon Pumpkin orange Spray can... After a 72 hour hardening and drying time I hope to smooth out the chunky + runny spots on the fins. :y:
