| Re: Rocket Launcher Hello All, Here Is What You Have All Been Waiting For. I Haven't Put Alot Of Thought Into Wether Or Not This Would Even Be Legal But If Found To Not Be Consider It A Cartoon For The Heli Masses!!
Anyway I Was Sitting There Last Night And Had A Brain Fart, Why Couldn't You Shoot An Object Controlled By You're Radio From You're Heli? I Saw A Few Way's Of Doing It But Most Of Them Ended Up With The Heli Crashing To Earth In A Ball Of Flames, Then I Asked Myself Why Do You Need A Flame? Not Only That But How Do You Keep It Lit With The Blades Spinning Up Like They Do. Then It Hit Me, A Car Cigarette Lighter Has No Flame But Can Light An Object And Would'nt Be Extinguished By The Blades Spinning. Now This Does'nt Mean I'm Strapping A Car Lighter To My Heli, No Way I Have Something Better Than That Even.
Why Not Use A Standard Glow Plug And Push The Wick's Into The Center Of It So When You Get Power To The Glow Plug It Would Ignite The Bottlerocket's, You Would Have To Extend The Wick's Alittle But That Is Very Easy To Do.
Now You're Saying Well How Do I Get Power To The Glow Plug? How About Via A 9 Volt Battery, They're Small And Fairly Lightweight. Then The Problem With Being Able To Turn The 9 Volt Battery Off And On From You're Radio, Easy As Pie You Just Go To You're Local Radioshack And Buy A Micro Switch. I Know I Know What Can I Do With A Goofy Micro Switch? Well If You Get A Micro Servo Also You Can Mount The Micro Switch Somewhere In The Heli And Mount The Micro Servo Just Above It So When The Servo Horn Comes In Contact With The Switch It Sends Power From The 9 Volt To The Glow Plug And Away Goes The Whistleing Bottlerocket Right At The Neighbor's Cat.
You Still Say It Can't Be Done.... Well I Have A Drawing That Say's It Can And Has Been Done. I Put It All Together And It Worked Better Than I Thought It Would. Hovering At About 10 Feet I Hit The Button And It Triggered The Glow Plug To Do It's Job And Boy Did It, After About 3 Seconds The Whistler's Went Sailin And It Was The Best Thing I Have Ever Seen, They Shot Out Straight And Went About 100 Feet And Popped. My Wife Thought I Was An ***** For Even Attepmting It And After Seeing It Work And On The First Try. She Said You Better Patent The Idea..........i Said Whattttttttttttttttt No Way I'm Going To Share It With The Heli Fever Masses And See Where It Goes From There.
I Will Be Getting Some Video Up Before Too Long So You Can All Laugh You're Butt's Off!!! Look For It On You Tube !!! |
