  • Wow very nice strobe,what formula did you use?

  • @Mnemotron2010 60 Ammonium Perc, 15 Barium Sulfate, 5 Potassium Dichromate - I mill this for 2 hours, then add in 25 Magnalium - for this rocket I used 200-325 mesh MgAl right out of the bag - by using part coarser mesh metal, it will slow the strobe rate down - just keep the total metal to 23-25%, and play with different meshes. Good luck, and thanks!

  • @vela1492 thank you mate!

  • @Mnemotron2010 Not a problem at all - go light something :)
