Hi everybody!! This product is very interesting. first, it comes from the old DDR, and look at the fire off system of the rocket engine... It's the first time i see that on a rocket. Have someone ever seen that ?? if you have some pictures it should be very interesting. Please share your knowledge about this kind of very surprising stuff.

Here are some picture from the internet. I do not see the typical fuse. What type of fuse is on this rocket?

There is no fuse, just granulate black powder prime on the engine! that's very surprising, it's the first time i see that!

I found a very good video after 30 min of research. not very commun on the web. The effect is also very original, like a "tornado" with a very nice comet and Titanium report

Hello!

That was the common ignition system on most of the GDR fireworks articles for outdoor use. It is a slow burning priming, that continues (pressed in in this case) into the aluminium rocket motor tube and then starts the driving composition pressed directly after it with a slight core towards the bottom. It's quite effective actually and did hold up really well over the years :)

oh yes, but a bit dangerous for transport. a very little sparkle can inflamme all the stock. so, today i think this kind of system is prohibited
