Nothing hit the ground Dave that rocket hit a good 150 + feet.

The composition is my own and I will release the details very soon.

Great tails. Did you manage to try out your crackling stars in a shell ? If, yes any video ?

Nice one Ken - which glitter formula is it based on? Good burst, did you boost with whistle ? I'm sure I can hear a whistle right on the burst ? Or is your Cat charcoal just that hot !

Yes you can see some waste granules used in this rocket, this is a mix of mainly C and a little of B also some blue stars that we had been working on.

No whistle mix was used Sam I think what you hearing was the sound wave going almost supersonic.
Break was cat wood BP on rice husks + 1 gram of 70/30 flash, star composition was my own and will be available in the next AFN.
