You guys are my people!! has anyone Tried using wireless firework firing systems for electronics?

No fireworks remotes, but I got pretty serious one time and started to order stuff. I called a radio control company and gave a little overview of what I wanted to do. They got pretty serious and said "that frequency, or band" some words to that effect, was reserved for planes and that I shouldn't be using it...

They said I could probably use a remote controlled car or boat signal. I'm sure they were right and I do train in a few places near radio controlled "airports." I'm sure no one would want me messing with their planes...

I wouldn't think the transmitter control of a remote launcher would be on long enough to affect model airplanes to any great extent. What I'd be afraid of is their airplane signals setting off the launchers.

In '95 when I got my first Lucyana's, they were controlled by a model car or truck transmitter. Worked fine if a little big and clumsy compared to the TT Pro Controls.

I have two built just like these, and have ran over 100 rounds with them. Great, light weight tool to have. Haft the price. Here is a link of mine showing how the firing pin works....

Hi

If I use a POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR MOTOR 12-V will my Tri-tronics pro control release it.

I would also like to know that too!

For $4.00 give it a try. If not go to tower hobbies, do a search on 3003. This is a servo that cost $10. You'll need to take apart (careful don't mess up the gears) heat the motor connections on the board and take board off. Spacer new worded to motor connections. Double check, I think FT is reverse polarity

[GilWlsn]

%$#& auto correct! That should have said solder new wires to motor connections. Check I think TT is reverse polarity

im thinking that instead of building a launcher in the traditional method using powder as the propellant, there should be a way to build one using rubber tubing....im tossing around a few ideas right now. see how it goes.
