Repairing a Rocket That Has Broken into Two PiecesI received the Tour De Deuce's on 7/2/04 and was happy to try to put them in the air on 7/4/04. We had calm evening and so my son and I rushed out to our local field which had been hayed and set up. I decided I would just get going with one of the Deuce's (later to learn it was DW#2). I loaded it up with two Quest C6-5's and set up. Upon ignition, which my son pushed the button for, only one motor lit and it came off the pad about 10 feet turned at a 30 degree angle downward and flew into the ground. The ejection separated the rocket from the nose cone and there she lay. Broken in two!
