Keep the video running after you retreat from the field. Could be exciting.

Okay Larry=85=85 I have one left over from an old BRS and need to get rid o
f it. My desire was to watch it lift off. I thought it was =93a good idea
=85=94 Instead, I will be calling the fire department has-mat handler and
find out who disposes of this kind of stuff safely.

It sounds as though your life experiences and mine are a lot alike. Until I
was about 30 I would do something that didn't work out, and when asked, re
sponded with "It seemed like a good idea at the time". Then for the next th
irty I was at the top of my game. Now I have reverted to - "It seemed like
a good idea at the time", once again.
I believe I would ask the Sheriff's dept for guidance. They should have a s
afe place to dispose of them.
Hang in there,
Larry

Richard, I think youre dealing with propellants vs explosives. Less than 25,000
FPS. Probably significantly less. Difference is a non contained propellant
isnt creating the brisance and over pressure of a high order explosive.
Remove the 2lb slug and any other projectile, and burn in a pit. A long high temp
burn would be preferable.
Do it after sunset for entertainment value, lol.

| Subject: | Any Ultra Prop / Competition Aircraft experience or reviews? |
Due to my previously posted incident, I got a new propeller. An Ultra Prop 2 from
Competition Aircraft.
Does anyone have experience with one? The owner, Bob Davis, is super helpful.
He shipped fast. I got a 3 blade Ultra 2, but after some discussion, he thinks
my Rotax 582 with 3.00:1 gear box will perform better with a 4 blade set up.
My goal is the best stol and climb performance possible.
Im waiting on a prop spacer so there isnt a repeat of the previous incident.
I think Im close to getting this bird airborne..hopefully in the next week or so.

Here in the West things are so dry and people so nuts recentantly that I
"assumed" people would go nuts if you shot off a rocket. Not to mention the
possible terrorist aspect of things. :-) However it would not be amiss to
at least let them know your intentions, and they might well tell you to
"fire away". At least your butt would be covered.

| Subject: | Re: More Crud - Chutes |
I also have a couple old chutes. The older one is from 1984. It's a BRS
mortar type. I thought I might try attaching the projectile to the bridle
of the chute that came with it. If it deployed it would pull the chute
open. I never did try it. Maybe it won't work. The newer one is from 2000
and it's disassembled.
