justvisiting Posted April 18, 2023 Posted April 18, 2023 Been in pyro rocket drydock for way too long, finally made one up. The video is not great, but I liked how it turned out. It's a 3lb long-spindled nozzleless BP rocket with a 6" willow diadem shell on it. The 'regular' WD formula was a bit too slow for my liking and the tiger willow diadem was too fast. I took both formulas and made a 50/50 batch for these cut stars. I used the bag method and jumble-filled the shell. I had 2 rolls of waterproof quickmatch around since forever, so I used that up just for the heck of it. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7iKKEjKsbZo 2
cmjlab Posted April 18, 2023 Posted April 18, 2023 Nice. That rocket performed nicely! The header effect was nice too, I've yet to try any of the Willow Diadem or variants yet. 1
Sentuel Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 I'm not that experienced in pyrotechnics yet, but that rocket performed quite well i'd say. 1
print118 Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 How high did the rocket reach, and did you use a commercial rocket motor or your own?
dlking59 Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 I thought it was quite nice. I liked the effects when it exploded. Good job. 1
DavidF Posted October 9, 2023 Posted October 9, 2023 How high did the rocket reach, and did you use a commercial rocket motor or your own?I'd say 600 feet, maybe 700? It was a 6" shell on top with willow diadem cut stars. I made the motor. It was a 12" long BP nozzleless motor made with moistened hot BP and pressed to around 3500psi on the comp area, in a waxed tube. Note: I'm DavidF again because my other computer with the 'justvisiting' moniker got zapped, and this one with my old account on it came back to life. 1
