RE: my bottle rocket air boat
That explosion was created by AP in that bottle, that is a sampler bottle of shampoo that you would get at a hotel. That is not me, someone else that i don't even know on the net did that. Ap is a powder, and is used to ignite things like MEKP( not methyl ethyl ketone peroxide) and larger explosives like ANFO and TNT, Nitrocellulose, and yes C4. Anyways, enough of the explosives. I suggest if you are to continue blowing things up, use the spent engine casing from rocket engines instead of metal pipe. Fragments of cardboard do not hurt anywhere near as much as fragments of metal!

RE: my bottle rocket air boat
Guys........
I really think this is a discussion better held else-where, or at least privately.
It does not really pertain to this forum, AIRBOATS!
I think model-mann understands the gravity of our concerns of what he wants to do, and I know you are all just trying to offer some adult, and very knowledgeable advice, but please, we need to get back to what this forum is about.
Thank you,
pro

TRUST ME THIS,,,Your playing with your life....myself and a friend used to do your copper pipe trick, while crimping the end of one of these so called noise makers it blew in my friends face, he was less than an arms lenth away from it, it removed his face... and the top of his head as well, some of the schrapnel went thru the floor above his head and tore a hole in his mothers dishwasher... he's dead now. 1987 was the year...trust me, we thought like u, that we knew what we were doing... they came up with a half dozen reason as to why it could have blown. who knows, fact is he's gone.

Model Mann hasn't responded, let's hope and pray he is ok and still has all his body parts! [sm=eek.gif]
