millhouse Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Here are some of mine. These are 25mm ID rockets with 2" shell headers on them. Each shell used Corned BP as burst(no flash boosters!). http://www.apcforum.net/files/Senko_hanabi_2inch.AVI Senko Hanabi stars (low quality flight). http://www.apcforum.net/files/Winokur_24_2...raft_layers.AVI Winoker 24 stars. http://www.apcforum.net/files/Senko_Hanabi...Kraft_layer.wmvSenko Hanabi stars.
TheSidewinder Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 All 3 rockets are good, but that Senko Hanabi (the 6-layer) burst was especially nice. M
JamesH Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 Very impressed! Those 2" headers are very symmetrical for such small shells? By 2" do you mean that the shell header is sized to fit a 2" mortar or is the actual diameter 2"? Can you give any details on the construction of the headers, such as spiking, burst arrangement etc?
millhouse Posted May 1, 2006 Author Posted May 1, 2006 Okay, thanks for the compliments. Well these were 2" in diameter,not like the others to fit in a 2" mortar. well i used paper hemis and simple kraft paper with wallpaper glue to paste them.As its shown on the link,they had 6layers.I used to separate burst charge from stars as usually.I have some pics how they were made (despite the awfull look of the stars and other stuff ) : http://www.apcforum.net/files/IMG_0044.jpg http://www.apcforum.net/files/shells.JPG
