19 mm Stinger, 64 mm long, charged with 20 g of meal with 10% spherical Titanium added. Finished device weighed 43 g.
Nozzle and bulkhead of wax treated cat litter, fused with zinc effects blackmatch, glued into the waterglass treated spin vent with meal-NC paste.
Large bamboo skewer as a launch pin, stuck directly into the sand as in previous stinger launches.
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.
