Flash Salute Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Hi !Last week i tried new stuff....the flying fish mineYour Mains compound its flying fish fuse ! http://www.xtremesurvival.co.uk/items_images/1150044710flyfishsilver.JPG http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/5750/sanstitrefg0.png whats like inside a flying fiish mine (one-shot) method http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/4814/sanstitreic0.png the professionnal method (my favourite ) its possible to add other stuff like stars to add pleasure ! just few teaspoon needed to lift the mine because flying fish fuse its self-propelled ! this is the result:http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/252/flyingfishfuseminerj0.jpg
mormanman Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Thats pretty does anyone know how to make flying fish fuse but don't answer yet I will tell you if I really need to know I haven't looked yet
Mumbles Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 I don't know anyone who has ever made it, only purchased. I've made some pretty energetic fuses, but nothing compared to flying fish. That stuff really takes off. Perhaps if I contained the energetic fuses in the string wrappings it could do the trick.
Flash Salute Posted April 28, 2007 Author Posted April 28, 2007 Also aerial shell made with flying fish fuse make a good result I try the flying fish aerial shell, and i use the same shell 4 TIME ! the shell dosen't break, just the end cap are "popped" out of the shell, thats amazing ! its sure i want to make a 100mm silver flying fish in aplastic spherical shell, i imagine the amazing result !
WonderBoy Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 I like to put a single shot flying fish mine in the top of my roman candles, it adds a really nice effect. I wouldn't recommend holding it though.
crazyboy25 Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Wow awesome pic don’t have any flying fish fuse though...might get some just for this. Little more info would be useful (dimensions length of fuse number of fuse proper assembly) I am a stickler for extremely precise tutorials (I like to know what I’m doing)
asilentbob Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Dispite having some, i havn't really messed around with it. That first mine pic is very beautiful! I'm going to have to try some more in shells.
hst45 Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 I'm addicted to this stuff! I do a lot of 2" and 2-1/2" shells, and some 4oz rockets, and flying fish are great effects in these. They get sort of "lost" in bigger shells, due to higher break heights, but on anything under 200' they're super. I just cut the end with a slash cut and mix them in with the break charge. Another fun effect is to wrap three lengths of crackling fuse to the top of the shell in you last paste layer. You have a quick-and-easy rising comet effect for small shells.
Flash Salute Posted April 28, 2007 Author Posted April 28, 2007 (dimensions length of fuse number of fuse proper assembly) this is the lenght of flying fish fuse and the duration....flying fish fuse1/2 " = 1.5 sec1" = 2.0 sec1 1/2"=2.5 sec2 " = 3.0 sec2 1/2" 3.5 sec3 " 4.0 sec3 1/2" =4.5 sec4 " =5.0 sec
Mumbles Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 It should be noted that some of the new specialty FF fuses have different burn times. It would probably be best to get the burn time you desire and get the length from the actual burn rate. By the way, those timings don't make sense, I think there is an error. There is no way a 1" piece of fuse burns for 2 seconds, but if I cut the same piece in half, each half burns for 1.5 seconds. Double the fuse length should have double the burn time. 2" should burn for twice as long as 1".
Flash Salute Posted April 28, 2007 Author Posted April 28, 2007 I just mean , longuer is your fuse, longuer the effect is produce in the air .
aquaman Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Hey do you have a video. I want to see it in action.
Flash Salute Posted April 28, 2007 Author Posted April 28, 2007 Hey do you have a video. I want to see it in action. damn ! yeah i have a vid but i put on a vhs videotape (make a pyro movie )
deadman Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Yes that is a long exposure pic. If you look up some vid's of FFF flying you'll see it has a pretty short tail from a distance. Aerial shells almost look like a super fast peony.
Flash Salute Posted April 29, 2007 Author Posted April 29, 2007 last week i make a 50mm mine with Crackling stars + flying fish fuse + 3 salutes (about 15mm cylindrical) with flash 70:30 and I use Granular Bp (about 25g) the mine work succesfully ! A big crackling with Lot of silver flying fish and 2 sec after..sudently..Bang! Bang! Bang! all salute explode about 15 meters in the air ! its an amazing success!
weknowpyro Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 This is a video of a starmine I made at new years. Should have made the fuse pieces abit longer.http://www.apcforum.net/files/flyingfishmine.wmv

weknowpyro Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 The fuse pieces were about 1/2" each, thats why it did not last long at all.
