I thought they stopped selling the reloadable Girandola in the consumer line. I checked and see one of my advertisers is selling them by the case. He even has my old video posted on the site. LOL

Those bring back memories from 2010. Someone (1 of 20) told the ATF I was altering consumer fireworks. I made this funny video in 2010.

I was stoked last year, guy had one dusty box of them sitting on the shelf....worked great but had kinda weak breaks on all but 2 out of 6.... Love the electrical wire insulation they used to pipe the fuses out to the drivers.... Kinda looked like nylon paracord... Coated in epoxy

Yes I saw those sleeve covers also. Reminded me of when I was trying to repair an old toaster wires, the wires has a similar heat protective cover. I still have some of these reloadable girandola, Maybe I will get some photos of the mechanics of how they connect. Some people like to make these as projects using stick rocket motors and cut out bottoms of buckets.

My first attempt at a homemade girandola broke apart at take off... The frame was balsa and bamboo.... Just a test so i had a dummy heading on it... The box i bought, i shot one in the cardboard tube it came with. The rest i drilled dowel rods into a board to hold 3 of them... Found a 16" plastic frame from one while metal detecting, near a baseball field... It's 100% intact and i plan to reload it once i get reliable drivers big enough for it

We have two around here for the past 3 years. A reloadable version that comes with 4 called mission control, and a single shot which has 4 mines before the girandola called the mothership. IMO the reloadable is the best, the single shot didn't seem to go much higher.
