Message: [QUOTE="87Xfer, post: 5038806, member: 10566"] This and slot cars were my obsessions for a while. Nearly lost fingers starting the cox engines many times. And that fuel was something else. With the right plane you could fly loops, then do forward loops to keep the tether chords from getting too crossed up. Later we learned that you could use Estes rockets to create some nutty improvised fireworks. Get the biggest model rocket engine you could find, make a big 12-18 inch long tube from poster board, buy "cannon fuse" or improvise with tissue paper and gun powder and connect it to where the engine charge goes off to launch the parachute, then cram the tube with M80s, whatever else spliced to the "fuse". Epoxy fins on and add a nose cone. Launch when ready. I think we almost set South Windsor on fire once with that game. [/QUOTE]
