| Another construction article seen in the
magazines, but worth repeating, is this method of making cheap bombs for dropping off
those toilet paper racks I described to you many moons ago. You know, the one where you
have a servo pushing a wire through one side of the fuselage while there is a rubber band
that comes under the toilet paper on the other side and holds onto the wire. Pull your
retract switch, the wire goes in and the toilet paper drops , remember? Well go to the
store and buy up some of them Styrofoam cups. You can get 100 for under a dollar. You
might buy a small bag of cheap flower, unless your wife buys it in 25-pound bags like mine
does. In that case, she'll never miss a little. Cut Four equally space slots into one cup
and glue it, bottom to bottom, to another cup. I used hot glue. Now fill that cup ¾ full
with flour and glue it top to top with a third and final cup. Lightly cut grooves in the
last cup to weaken it and your done! Hook the TP bomber’s rubberband around the head
of the bomb and drop it over a hard surface. It will make a good puff of ‘smoke’
when it hits. Here’s a drawing for reference. |
