My new 8" shell with Super Kamuro And Dragon Eggs

Well, my new 5KG monster firework was created and successfully launched!

For the rocket I used my own build:

Making a small hole into the delay part, inserting the superfast Visco fuse and keep everything in place with hot glue.

By varying the deep of the hole I can vary the shell ignition altitude:

Making cardboard washer adaptors and gluing everything with Titebond glue:

The finished rocket is the first from the right.

Please note that I used only two sticks, but stronger and bigger, and added 20 grams of lead counterweights at the end of every stick for perfect counterbalancing.

I also used a timing fuse instead a normal fuse:

The aperture was spectacular, with perfect simmetry.

The bang was so deep and loud that our hearts fluttered!

 

This time I used coated rice hulls with 5 layers of fast BP meal and 2 layers of KP created

with the help of my handmade star roller.

Also, I pasted the shell twice. I started the second paste 90° from the pole (so in the equator line),

always following the NeighborJ method, to create a more homogeneous web.

I'm speechless, that's a proper rocket engine and shell. Congratulations...The next step would be getting some pasting machine :)

Those headers sure do look nice. I'd really like to see some cylinder headers on those rockets soon.😉
