Hi All-

New to the forum and thought I'd share my 2016 New Years display I did to cap off our party last night.
Treated myself to an 18R and 18M for Christmas that I picked taking advantage of Cobra's Black Friday sale.
Everything went perfectly! Every shell and cake fired we did well with the fusing.

The video description has the cue setup described. The video missed the first two cakes on Cue 1 because the videographer was busy using a New Years countdown app on his phone!

I did see some oddities with my 18M and have had the usual fanatical support from Scott Smith -- what a great guy. Thanks Scott for all of your help!
I've done several shows with just fusing everything together and no firing system but man the firing system makes it so much better -- and safer too. Loved watching my show with the audience.

Here's some pictures of the setup. The 3 x 20 shot DR11 racks I have are from pyroboom.com -- Eric from pyroboom is just like Scott Smith, another great guy in the pyro community.
I used my 16 foot trailer so I could setup everything and then roll it out w/ my tractor to the cul-de-sac in our neighborhood which is an ideal place to fire everything.

Hey Dave!

Happy New Year. No prob, didn't think to upload the pictures right to the forum. That makes it much easier!
