I feel really stupid now, coz i've just spent 2 hours pasting a 3" d1 paper shell .... :)
But how much strapping tape do you apply? If you apply a lot, won't you end up with a "bumpy" shell, if you use the 3 or 6 ring pattern? Allowing gasses from the lift to pass between the gaps and so on .. be cause my paper shells, without pasting they fit VERY loose in a 3" mortar. Maybe plastic is bigger i dunno - i've never had/held one in my life:) But i will def. try it when i'm out of paper!:)
Plastic hemis are still a bit to small after taping. If you want to conserve lift, you have to paste plastic too to build the sie up. Or use a ton of tape...
hmmm, good question. I'm guessing around $7, less than $10. That break was huge somewhere between 200 and 300 feet wide, weight is equal to maybe fifteen 1.75" mortar shells.
REALLY nice 4"^^

Once again a very nice shell!:) Was this a plastic shell too, or paper hemis this time?
And how was it pasted/closed?
traxxasforever 2 years ago
plastic, solvent welded and strapping taped closed. no paper or pasting.

Damn .. that's amazing !:) Is it just 3 rings of strapping tape, applied in a "Triangle" pattern around the time fuse?
traxxasforever 2 years ago
Yep :), That one had 6 rings though...
