The Secret Wepon

Recommended Posts

Upon invite, A pyro buddy Steve and I headed over to the grand daddy of rocket tooling's house yesterday and put his very first strobe rocket together from raw chems to finished rocket. There was no report heading on this one, since it was daylight and all but as you can see in this video, the tiny little 5/8" strobe worked flawlessly. Steve is in the foreground lighting his new delight.

Thanks Vegas, it wants mine but I will pass it along. I am still searching for the comp as I kind of "miss-located" some papers in my office.
