| The first few customer provided images are from
Eugene from Florida. He had a very unique approach to building the Deuce's Wild! and
I think you will agree that it makes this "Wild!" rocket stand out even
more! Eugene had this to say about his approach: "What started out as an innocent FlisKits Deuce's Wild has now evolved
into something meaner, stealthier, and futuristic. This is my rendition of what would
happen if the government got a hold of this rocket and turned it into an intergallactic
fighter. And yes, this is the real deal, not a drawing or concept!" |

Stephen Peart was so thrilled with
the construction and performance of his Deuce's Wild! kit that he just had to send some
pictures of it for all of us to enjoy! On the
right is a static image showing the patriotic scheme that he selected and on the right is
its maiden flight. This being Stephen's first cluster we are thrilled that he chose
the Deuce and that it worked out so well for him! Congratulations Stephen! |

Eugene has begun painting this
beauty and the paint job is second to none! We will continue to monitor this effort
and get more pictures! |

An early customer (Alan Richardson
aka: Swimmer) was thrilled to get his Deuce's Wild! He took a picture of it, right
out of the box! |

You'd never know that this is the
same rocket, same paint, same color. Interesting paint, that's for sure!
Thanks Alan! |

Dear FlisKits,
Enclosed are a few photos of my Deuce's Wild kit. I finally finished painting it and had
to give it a try. I have never flown a cluster model before. It flew great the motors both
ignited, and it flew straight up Beautiful flight. It has flown |
twice so far. My son
Jeramy loves it. The duel smoke trails are really neat. Thanks for a great kit.
Sincerely,
Larry Vetter |

And we have LIFT OFF! |

The Duece's Wild has finally flown
on the left coast. I managed to get a flight in at the LUNAR |
launch today. I
finished the DW in "stock" colors, replicating the look on the kit card. I also
downloaded the decal design Jim posted here a week ago and created some decals for the
fins. In the pics you'll see the Duece's Wild logo on the left fin and the LUNAR and
BAYNAR club logos. The rocket is designated "DW #14" because it is the 14th kit
produced, according to the card in the kit.
The flight was AOK, with both B6 motors lighting quick and a straight boost and perfect
retrieval. I did get a few melted spots on the chute, but nothing else to report. Folks at
the launch seemed to enjoy the novel look of the DW.Dean |
