The following article was a submission to the FlisKits, Inc Deuce-Bash Contest and is archived with permission from FlisKits. Some of these designs are not actually kitbashes, however, all come from the basic motor design feature of the FlisKits Deuce's Wild.

Brief:
The name of my entry is DoubleDeuce. It is basically a 4-canted engine rocket instead of two. I had an interesting challenge to be able to get 4 engines into that size body tube. So what I ended up doing was moving two of the engines up farther into the body tube.

Construction:
To get this motor mount, I had to make an additional centering ring. I made this centering ring out of thick poster board and all I had to do to get the pattern was to lay one of the original centering rings on it and trace its pattern. Then I laid the other centering ring on it sideways and traced its pattern to come up with what you see.

After these few additions, everything else was built according to the instructions. The only extra parts I needed for this was an extra centering ring and two extra engine tubes cut long enough to be even with the other two.

Flight:
I have flown this rocket several times with decent flights every time. First flight was on 4 A8-3s, however, only 2 engines lit so it went off at a slight angle but recovery was good. Second flight was on 4 B6-4s, but only 2 lit again. Otherwise it was an okay flight and recovery. Third flight was on 4 B6-4s and 3 motors lit. Fourth flight was on 4 C6-5s. Two engines lit and the rocket landed in a pond causing the engines to swell in the motor tubes, so I had to drill them out once it dried.

I haven’t flown it since then. I still need to fix one of the engine tubes, but I plan on making a new clip whip so all 4 engines should light at once and it should do really well.
