Default RE: Rig a heli with rockets

Also on RR there's a video of a guy that has tons of fireworks shooting off his heli. Thats me, both times we have done it,(it is a group effort to do it safely) we were on private property with owners consent. We were in the middle of a giant field with no structures within a mile. It had heavily rained within 24 hours of doing it, and both times, there was so much condensation in the air that I had to wipe the blades down after each flight.

My friend made an arming device that enables me to arm the system, then cycle a switch to fire the fireworks. For helis, the best thing is the funnels that shower sparks... All the other types of fireworks are not as visually pleasing.

I feel this can be safely done under the right circumstances. When doing this, understand that you take full liability if something goes wrong.
