Remote Test Site Shoot #2 - Flying Hummers
Date: 2004-03-19
Description
A pair of my now infamous flying hummers.
I drilled the vent before ramming the propellant in these two as an experiment. It seemed to work just fine and offers that little bit more safety. I used priming and thin blackmatch as usual.
Comments
Worked well.
Slightly lower performance than usual, but the meal I used was not especially high-performance. It really needs to be re-milled, I suspect it is a little moist too.
I'd like to add some garnature to these things, perhaps a small flash report attached to the top and fused through a small hole in the top plug?
I read an article in an old AFN about using whistle in a similar device. That seems like asking for a ground salute, but my current whistle is very mild, so it might just work with a fairly large vent hole. I guess I'll give one a go.
