Ok so I want to shoot bottle rockets from my heli. Has anyone actually done this? Here is what me and black hawk were brainstorming....
I have a walkera 36 on route to my house so thats what we were working around.
So I know I can get fire to start from a resistor if I put way too much current/voltage through it. And I know rocket engine starters flame up using an external power source, usually 5-9 volts.
If I were to add a servo to my bird, tape a 9 volt to the frame, and use a normal switch I could get the rocket engine starter to fire and light the wick of a bottle rocket. I would use the landing gear switch on my "tx" to trigger the whole shabang.
What do you guys think about this? Possible with upgrades-maybe, crazy-yes. Do you guys know of another way to do this?
Here is a video of it in action (near the end)
