Shooting at an RC plane with fireworks

[BobSch]

Take a radio-control plane equipped with a video camera and have your friends try to shoot it down?

Sort of a do-it-yourself Top Gun

Awesome!

The vid he shot on the 4th was just as good as the first one. He even had some fire power that day.

Oh the safety code violations! Still, it was a cool video.

Gives you an idea what the WWII bomber crews must have went through with the flack!

Cool video but I am thinking there was some beer involved in that.

I think it'd be a bit more interesting using bird-bomb & starburst shells from a semi-auto 12 gauge...

How about if the plane could shoot back?

One of the guys I work with suggested a couple of Estes rockets under each wing.

Here, hold my beer and watch this. Something about this just reeks of disaster.

EasyStars are tough little planes.. I'm sure it could take a few direct hits.
I flew my daughters into a fence post and just dented the wing.

LOL, I like the poster's comment:

Some of the shots look like they're close, but all I can think about is how f . &&&ked we are when the Terminator thing goes down and all we have are sparklers. Videos like this make me think the liberal middle class (me) should think again about the NRA and shotguns. [Pasqualy]

I was thinking bottle rockets, but I like the Estes idea—more power!!!
