pyrojig Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Should we let this fine night pass without another video? I didn't think so either... http://www.youtube.c...h?v=u3p0BsWvGSc That looks like a nozzle blow out ...lol.... But thanks for posting in... It made for a nice gerb. I am interested in those monocopters ..They Look really nice! Is the case wound in a spiral(like those ground spinner fireworks), or is it more of a stinger of sorts. BTW .. I do love a good finish as you did on that little chopper (the Ti)... That sure adds such a nice touch.. I have made a similar spinning flying firework with the thin more energetic fuse. It is wound in a spiral, then lightly sprayed with a Nc lacquer spray. It is dried in that shape, then lit later. It spins then flies kind of like yours but a little more erratic...( kind of like twizzlers) Edited February 17, 2011 by pyrojig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peret Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Well here's something to aim for, by The Master. Skip the first minute to see what must be a man-year of careful work go off in ten minutes of sheer excellence. I have never seen cylinder shells perform like this. I won't embed, because you will want to watch this full screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest no6 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 3 years ago a friend of mine introduced me to consumer fireworks. I became addicted. Made the racks, learned fusing, etc, etc. 4 months ago he said he would like to make his own stuff. I said well, I'd only be interested if we could make this stuff as well or better than the consumer stuff. I'm enough of a perfectionist to strive for these type of results. The Master is awesome. A goal worth shooting for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagabu Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 The Masters rockets are incredible, if you ever get the chance to go to a shoot where he displays his wares, you will be in awe at what he can do with a 2.5" ID canister shell. Honestly, his small shells beat the pants off most shells 2-3 times as big due to the perfection with which he makes them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest no6 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hey Dag, how do you think he attaches his canisters to the motor? Is it just hot glue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagabu Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Oh, hey NO6, sorry, I missed this one completely... Yes, TR uses hot glue only to attach his headings to the rocket motors. While I am here, how about a rocket video? Great Saturday! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzimd7FX2fE Edited April 3, 2011 by dagabu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
