A friend and I have been doing an annual fireworks display for friends and family for the last 17 or 18 years. Every year is a little bigger than the previous, both in terms of the crowd and the display. This year we had 1,100 lbs. of fireworks. Half our stock was lit by hand, starting with 200 gram cakes paired together, then 500 gram cakes, then 500 gram cakes paired together. Finally, we use half our stock for a 3 minute finale, firing it with a Cobra system. This year, we had some fusing issues on the finale, about 1/3 to 1/2 of our stock didn't fire, which was disappointing, but it still looked pretty good. It looked especially good from the vantage of a drone, which was flying just above the majority of the display. If you look at the bottom of the frame, you may notice the roof of a farm shed, which is near our launch point. Here's most of our finale from the drone's POV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBdtcSSfd9g
