OOhhhhOOo.. FYI… The Landmines (SUCK!!!).. I’ll use them because I paid for them, but DO NOT BUY THEM!!! At least for your RC props.. Paintball there cool, but for what I had hoped, versioned (they suck!) .. I’ll be more than happy to sell them to you after the town scene is completed..



P.S.
Tomorrow will be the rockets and landmines (as pathetic as they are)..

[TDC57]

Well the weather was not conducive to rocket testing , but I did have some great success with the grenade launcher , I wish I could say the same for the fricken landmines


Testing video:

Thanks for your time everyone..

Have a great week..

[rschoi_75]

The grenade launcher is sweet!

[BL_RV0]

Second that. Really sucks to hear about the landmines.

[TDC57]

I think I got the land mines worked out (?) further testing still needs to be completed. However the rear net is going NO WHERE FAST!!!! I’ve got some great failed video I should post of disappointments and unforeseen mishaps (IE) I now owe my neighbor a new side window (long story).. got to love the RD phase!!!

Have a great one everybody!..

[TDC57]

Ok I figured out how to do it (kind a) but I need suggestions on the pilot light / source of initial flame..

I'm thinking at the moment of going to REI tonight to review camping stoves and other existing out of the box possibilities, but as usual you guys have great suggestions so please feel free to shoot them out so to speak.

Hopefully I’ll have a mock up ready by this weekend for testing..

Thanking you all in advance your time and great suggestions..

[Gee]

I might of missed part of this. Just scanned through trying to catch up. Are you looking for a pilot light that is already ignited or a spark. Didn't see what the flamethower is made out or what fuel your using.

A glow plug and igniter might do the job. I've never left the glow plug in the ignitor for long. But is should last a while. I suppose you don't need an ignitor is you just hook it up to some DC to start it burning. You can make switch on your RC and ingnite the glow plug when you need it then turn the juice off when you done.

Isn't California already on fire?
