Video of a couple 4 oz. whistle rockets with flying fish headers. Camera sucks but you get the idea.

Can you make it a pdf because i cannot view .doc files and im having trouble even saving it.

I think the forum thinks that it's an image and is corrupting it. I'll have a look around and see if I can't fix it later today, but likely it would have to be reuploaded.

 

It might be easier just to use the filehost for this for the time being. http://www.apcforum.net/files/

Kool thread.

 

Just as I was getting slightly confident building stars, I found out how easy it is to use flying fish.

 

Here's the first test video shot in my back yard. Maybe eight or nine flying fish pieces (unprimed) just launched from a stargun with a tiny skoop of lift powder:

Have never tried priming these for aerial shells and they've all lit so far--though priming surely can't hurt.

 

(Can't wait to try crackling flying fish).

 

Oh and thanx for the anvil cutter tip. Trying to cut masses of flying fish fuse with a scissor is just asking for a friction spark.
