Comments

Wonderful Tail.

Went fairly high for a stinger, huge umbrella envelope of softly crackling Titanium effect, at least 6 feet across.

Couldn't be happier with the effect, except perhaps if it lasted a little longer and went a bit higher, but I don't believe that is possible with this propellant configuration.

The expended device was not recovered. I would really like to recover one of these in the future to study.
