I recall seeing a board of aerial spinners (e.g. rising spinners that start on the ground) at a display in the past few years - maybe CobraCon 2023 - but I can't for the life of me find any product via my google searches that matches it. I have a vision to shoot a bunch of these 'boards' together at some point but can't buy what I can't find!

Does anyone have an idea of what I'm looking for?

Something like jungle jets?

well, that didn't take long to be humbled. Yes, exactly like that! I even skipped over it when I was parsing aerial spinners. Thank you!

Those are cool because you get used to seeing hundreds of tube-launched shots following the same, familiar trajectory during the show. When those launch, they can change direction at different points during flight. It just makes your mind go "WTF just happened here? How does a shell suddenly turn 30 degrees away after launch?"

Hey PyroFL, ever use these in your show? I can see shooting off a couple hundred of these -

Yes sir I have

Got the idea from ignite (Ken) he did it 2-3 years ago.

I’ll see if I can dig it up when I get to work

I saw a show with a bunch of these (maybe Cobracon '23?) and have been obsessed with using them ever since. I plan to shoot a case of them (24/10), 240, and trigger a chain on waterfall stage effects right after. It'll be the fun/magical part of the show :)

I've been looking into using them ever since then too. The main reason I haven't is because of all the plastic and they seem a little unpredictable for my space.

Most landed within 40-50’ away but out of 9 boards/90 flying I had a few (3-4) land around 100’ away and 15-20 in between with almost zero wind.

If that helps …

20 years ago I saw someone create these on his own using a big piece of plywood and fast fuse. As it went off he played some science fiction flying saucer music. Now it appears you can buy these commercially made. Although with these premade ones you need to set them off in multiples using a firing system.
