Black Powder Rocket - 2" Flash salute (30g FP (Ti Spiked) Header)

[KingBerk104]

I think the "pop" was your nozzle blowing out. Maybe the core was too wide? Did you ever recover it?

Regardless, that was awesome... Hell of a header! :D

[murdoch2486]

@KingBerk104

i think so too!

nah, we just concentrated on getting the hell out of there! before the armed police showed up! haha

thanks for your comment mate

[Piggeldy111]

DAMN dude, a really nice rocket!

Loved the thunder-like report, did you lit that thing near a beach or something?

Sounded like a nade going off ;)

[murdoch2486]

@Piggeldy111

haha, cheers mate

yeah it really was like thunder! yeah was on the beach nearby, which was probably a mistake as the coastguard might have mistake it for a distress signal! lol

thanks for your comment mate

[midnitesquirldog]

[pyromaniackid1]

wow man! that was nice!

[murdoch2486]

@pyromaniackid1

cheers mate, glad you liked it

[sparksnsky]

That was really loud. You must have scared some people there :)

[murdoch2486]

@sparksnsky

cheers mate

i was one of them! lol

[NichroPulse]

That sounded loud! I like the titanium effect. Very impressive. I just ground tested a new loud-composition for rocket reports of my own, but I'm scared of it really, so I'm not sure I'll ever use it again. If I do reports for measuring altitude, I like to use a rural launch site away from houses.

[murdoch2486]

@NichroPulse

it really was mate! yeah Ti sponge, is my favorite report effect.

what was it? KMnO4 based? thats scary!

yeah, ive moved place, so the nearest 'non rural' area is on the beach, but no ones out at 9-10 at night, so thats my window! if people are in bed, theyll have an early wake up call thats all!

all the best

[NichroPulse]

KClO4

[murdoch2486]

@NichroPulse

ahh, i see.

well this is KClO4/ Eckhart Super H German Dark Al/ (70/30).

2 micron, this stuff really is incredible, i reckon this 30g could rival 100's of grams of KNO3 based flashes?

[gandelff999]

i love the giggling at the end,ya big kid

[murdoch2486]

@gandelff999

haha, i couldnt hold it!

i felt like a little kid on christmas day!..............and the potential of getting arrested added to the adrenaline rush! lol

[propyropower]

holy crap thats a deep thunder in it :D totally cool :P

+5 from me m8

[murdoch2486]

@propyropower

haha, it really did, a mate a few miles away from where i live said it sounded like thunder clapping through the streets! lol

cheers dude

take it easy mate

[propyropower]

lol!

[gandelff999]

love it mate,glad to see your back on the pyro scene,30 gr eh! stepping the stakes up now i see,your goin down the chiefy road i take it? be careful then, nice report though and the motor was fast as hell

[murdoch2486]

@gandelff999

cheers mate, glad to be back!

oh yes, now that im 18, im using adult quantities! nah, i dont set them off under bridges, and in my back yard! :P

cheers dude, yeah the motor, was a little too fast, ill have to cut the core down a bit.

take it easy man

[plasm7]

nice rocket. Sounds pretty short for a 1# was it an endburner?

[murdoch2486]

@plasm7

hi mate

yeah, i think it migth have CATO'd pretty high, hence the short flight? im not sure as the delay chamber ignited? so im not sure entirely what happened, but whatever it did, it still launched the salute very high!

[plasm7]

Ya it looked nice but I was more reffering to the 4inch length you put in the description my 5/8inch bp rockets are 6 inches long.

[murdoch2486]

@plasm7

yeah, im pretty sure it CATO'd before the full length of the motor burned?

it probably just got past the core, which ran 2" into the motor.

or thats what it sounded like.

like i say, this is a new motor for me to develop, so ill have to work on this excisting platform, and reduce the core in 5mm increments untill i get the right thrust for my headers!

cheers

[murdoch2486]

@plasm7

sorry mate, i understand what you mean now. (mr. Airrow rocket, has made me see sense!)

yes, i deliberately cut down the tubes to 4" instead of 7".

but doesnt 1lb, refer to the inner diameter of the tube (3/4", as a lead ball 3/4" in diameter would weigh, 1lb?, i thought thats how it was quantufied?)

[AirrowRocket]

Actually 1 lb rockets are 7 1/4 " This fella was roughly half the size.

[pooptube111]

nice, so thats how youre introducing yourself to the new neighbourhood :D

good to see you're back :)

[murdoch2486]

@pooptube111

haha, just to show them who's boss! :P

cheers mate, good to be back!

[KMnO4dalla]

WOW! That was a big bang:P very nice!

[murdoch2486]

@KMnO4dalla

cheers man,

it was tooooo loud for where i was! we drove so fast out of there, coz i thought the rozza would be round in no time!

good to hear from ya mate

[AirrowRocket]

Wow! I could feel that one! Been wondering where you've been. Nice to see your work again!

[murdoch2486]

@AirrowRocket

haha, it was a bugger!

yeah, dont know if you know, but ive been moving house, so pyro has been neglected, but im settled in now, and ive christened my workshop by making this monstrosity, this evening!

good to hear from you mate

all the best

[AirrowRocket]

What a way to ingratiate yourself to your new neighbors. I suggest not unpacking. You'll be moving soon!!!!!!

[murdoch2486]

@AirrowRocket

haha, brilliant!

dont think ive made too many freinds!.........unless my neighbours are as wacky as you guys! :P

[murdoch2486]

Hi guys! im back!

this is the first thing ive made on my new workshop!

cheers
