Fliskits - Deuce's Wild Build

[ale8oneboy]

Guys, I thought I would share my progress on my latest project build, the Deuce's Wild. Working on a motor cluster build up right now. Will post pictures as much as I can. Any tips out there for the DW?

Buy lots of motors,cuz your going to love flying it.

 

[ale8oneboy]

Motor Mounts are in place. Boring stuff I know. But I wanted to post the whole process.

 

[Scotty Dog]

Boring ? We love pics,keep them coming.

 

[mjennings]

yeah I'll second Scott on the motors.

Also the Deuce is a blank canvas as far as finishing so get the creative juices flowing when you're thinking about painting her.

Thanks for all the support guys. Oh don't worry, I love Quest C6-5. Especially the sound. Not to mention those Q2G2 igniters are nice too.

I took some time to shape the transition between the body tube and the motor mounts. I've got the fins cutout and prep'd. 3/4 fins are on. I'll have some more pics up as soon as possible.

For you guys wondering about paint scheme. It's October and Halloween. So in honor of the season I'm painting it with a candy corn color scheme (yellow,orange and white).

I hope to have it ready for Midwest Power. Little odd going to a high power launch to fly low power. But I'm going far to just watch the big stuff, why not have some fun too huh?

 

[jflis]

Love any and all Deuce threads Can't wait to see how your color scheme works out, sounds very kewl!

 

[ale8oneboy]

Transitions with putty.

 

[ale8oneboy]

In primer! Shooting the orange tonight.

Well here is my Candy Corn paint scheme. Had a few issues here and there. This is my first paint job with multiple colors and masking. I've learned a few things from this experience. Looking forward to flying it this weekend. All that's left is to prepare the chute and mount shock cord. Looking forward to doing another Fliskit in the future. Thanks for the experience Jim!

 

[Scotty Dog]

That looks corny. :wink:

 

[KHamel]

Very nice! You will love flying it!

Thats awsome, you can really see the dual thrust with the canted mounts. Very cool.

Oh I love it! Thank you! We had several Deuce's Wild kits fly this weekend, and more than a few Tres for that matter!

Great fun and getting both engines to go a the same time is
relativily easy but NOT guarenteed. I have had just one to
light which causes a very slanted flight/crash.

Rocket's eye view of my Deuce flying on only 1 motor...

It will fly fine on only one, but I use an altimeter for deployment:wink:

 

[Ford Prefect]

Brother you just turn the phone sideways. NICE KIT and nice flight...

 

[Stymye]

it also doesn't hurt to put some wadding/tape over the ejection end

 

[Scotty Dog]

I didnt see a crash???? I like the shadow of it in the vid.
Is that Candy Corn growing?
