Elvin Bale launched from his Space Shuttle
This shows the box truss central flying frame as mentioned in #3
I made by hand all the pyro devices for this contraption for several years (long story) including gold & silver gerbs & tremendous (blast) reports
(Cannons make no noise)
(Except for the screaming on launch)
amazing!
I mentioned long ago that this was built on a wrecked school bus chassis that Alvin "Schwartzie" Schwartz's son had turned over That was 1 of 2 that he wrecked before he also wrecked a brand new custom box truck that was fitted out to carry the 6 new Super Troupers which were also severly damaged & still remain in my warehouse in Vamo for anyone who would want them The damaged 6 could make 4 Elvin had wanted a cannon for several years & finally Irvin offered us that wreck for it We fitted it with a hydraulic nose wheel that would lift the front axle to align the trajectory with the net All of the elements within the unit were also hydraulic A micro switch activated by 1 of the levers operated all of the pyrotechnics
We shared the tunnel care with his Shuttle and Jewell News lions...

I mentioned long ago that this
was built on a wrecked school bus
chassis that Alvin "Schwartzie"
Schwartz's son had turned over
That was 1 of 2 that he wrecked
before he also wrecked a brand
new custom box truck that was
fitted out to carry the 6 new
Super Troupers which were also
severly damaged & still remain
in my warehouse in Vamo for
anyone who would want them
The damaged 6 could make 4
Elvin had wanted a cannon for
several years & finally Irvin
offered us that wreck for it
We fitted it with a hydraulic
nose wheel that would lift
the front axle to align the
trajectory with the net
All of the elements within
the unit were also hydraulic
A micro switch activated by
1 of the levers operated
