Hehe, actually, when I was a kid, I took this really nice balsa model of a ME109 (that took me 4 months to make) and used a geletin/gasoline mixture and painted the Gas-jelly onto the fuselage, went up on the roof of the house, wound up the rubber band (didn't have money for a real Bee engine) and let her fly, on fire. It proceeded to do a nice glide right over to the neighbors rooftop. I still have the imprint of my Dad's size 14 shoe on my buttocks. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

ROFL !
Reminds me when I drw that line with "Patex" glue from the Living room to the Kitchen & lit it... (Does a nice fire line & a LOT of black Smoke).
Nice Expreience, but Bad Timing : when the flame reached the Corridor in front of the entrance, My Mother came back from her office... Might not have been a Size 12, but it hurt, i can tell you that...
But, I have one that beats it ! :
A year later, I had this nice 4WD car Model In Platic & Metal (about 45 Cm / 30 /30)... I put a "Thunderflash" inside it, sitting right next to a Water balloon filled with Zippo petrol...
Went to an abandoned houseGarden in the area, lit it & let it roll down the cliff...KABOUM ! ----> 5 Minutes later, the House was on fire & the fireman 's sirens were heard...
A neighbour (Old lady) had seen me & the cops were soon Visiting our house in the hour...
Noone would let me get close to matches after that, My parents even bought an Electric oven/cooker to replace the Gas one...

Have Mighty1 tell you about when I set him on fire...
-
LOL Saw! Kieren, I think that's normal behavior for brothers to attempt to torch one another while growing up ;-). I have two boys, 4 and 1, and since we are non-smokers, I'll make sure I have a gun lock for any matches lying around the house (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hmmm
about 8 years ago, the Service Manager and some of the techs in the Jeep dealership I worked at, filled some balloons using our torch outfit. (acetylene) They had fuse material. (I was the Bodyshop manager)
Well, the resulting explosion....concussion ...was immense! Just from one balloon, it rocked the dust from the overhead flourescent lights and almost took my breath away. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
We then found a cardboard tube, that had plastic rolled on it, and drilled a hole in it for the fuse, blocked the bottom end, glued a small stuffed bunny on a coke can, and launched it 70 feet in the air! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
So if ya work in an environment with a torch setup, I didn't tell ya that!

Ok here's a couple of my old pyromaniac moments (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
1976 I was just about to turn 7 and a friend and myself were in my dad's shed (right next to a 5 gallon tank of gas doh!) lighting the little plastic cars that came on my 6th birthday cake on fire, and rolling them into the gas can!!!! Thank God my friends mom saw smoke and came running (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
A couple of years later another friend taught me a cool little trick that I'd actualy like to do again someday. Take a tenis ball can (the ones that have 4+ balls in them) and take the balls out of it. Then about 1.5 to 2 inches from the bottom drill a small hole to put fuses in it. Then put gas in the can, fill it to about 1/4 inch below the fuse hole. Then get a firecracker fuse put it in and cram a tenis ball in the open end. make sure it's all the way down on the gas so you get good compression. Then light the fuse and RUN LIKE HELL!!!!!!
wallah! one flaming tenis ball 100ft in the air (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) don't put too much gas in or the can will explode, this happened to us once (the last time we did it) and it was a VERY close call. The fire landed less than a foot from my left leg hehe. Guess im a lucky SOB....

Well I used to walk home about 1.5 miles from high school.
Large fireworks were procured, rubber sharks were blown to bits, and a water meter was reduced to shrapnel.
One day one of the geniuses brought a coke bottle from home. He had unloaded a LOT of his dads ammo and filled it with gunpowder. He then put a long fuse in it...
I had football practice that day and did not see the detonation. But there were quite a few small cuts on these idiots the next day at school!
I knew another guy that did the tennis-ball can mortar. We played 3-flies-up with it. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Oh boy.
Werks bombs. An empty 20 plastic soda bottle, some aluminum foil torn into bits, and a bit of household cleaner known as "The works". It heats up and eventually blows the bottle up, but beware of flying acid.
Where did my friends and I learn of this little bomb? Thats right. Mr. Wizard on TV.

Propane; spark plug; battery; PVC pipe and a sack of potatos.
One each Model 3 rev 2 Spud Gun. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Took out a garbage truck windshield; a gas station office window (mad panic; that) and managed to dent the door of the responding police car.
Got away clean too. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Delaying action fought superbly by 'viscious dogs' in yards I cut through.

hehe a bunch of lil pyros (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
mine was a big revell 1/32 scale f14... put a pair of estes D rockets engines in it and launched it from the roof.

I'm still upset about what they did to Bob the Wondershark.

For a really good non-flammable, but still lethal explosion, take chunks of dry ice, put them into a 2 litre plastic Pepsi bottle, add alittle water, and toss it in a garbage can. Don't be anywhere near it for the next 5-30 min. A friend did this at work once after a picnic. It ripped a metal garbage can apart into two pieces and scattered leftover food over a 200 sq.ft area.

Udie, I used to make the tennis ball cannons too! Really really cool when you did it at night! Fireballs in the sky! We also used to play soccer with a tennis ball while it was on fire... no one headed it! I think we stopped playing soccer with the fireball when we started catching our shoe strings on fire.
One of the fireballs landed on my friends roof, (wood shingels) we had to sneak up on the roof and put the fireball out without making too much noise so his parents didn't catch us! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I blew up a dumpster with a mixture of things in a 2liter plastic bottle. the explosion was cool, it just blew the lid off but it was still fun. Now what happened next was something none of us kids thought about... The dumpster we picked just so happened to be a dumpster that was used by a paper company and it was almost full of paper.
Me and my friend spent the next hour running to my pool and filling up gallon milk jugs of pool water to try and put out the fire before the fire trucks came. We had to abandon the dumpster and ran for the house when we saw the fire trucks coming.
I just knew I would be in soooo much trouble but my parents never said a word to us. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Growing up on a farm gave me all kinds of opportunities to get into trouble. One of the best-
Tide detergent + gasoline = napalm
you can imagine the possibilities.
Also sawed off .22 cal rifles w/birdshot=
20mm cannon fire against 1/48 scale models.

Hehe, Milo, yes, the farm life was good for experimentation since the barn was so far from the prodding eyes of mom and dad..use Borax next time, it doesn't bubble up as much. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Actually created a bomb with a friend once, shot gun shell powder compressed into a can, every other layer was bb's and compressed newspaper. We never had the courage to ignite it (and thank God, cause I doubt I'd be posting this) and buried it in the back "40"...after a couple of months, we decided we had the courage, dug it up, it was no good due to moisture that seeped in.
-
We used hairspray and barbecue lighters for fuel/igniters for our spud guns. A quick squirt could send a spud 300-400 yards into the river.
By the way - I hope big brother isn't reading this UBB. May get the wrong idea!

Find parking meter post minus the meter. Kick post over to about 20 degrees from vertical. Drop in one M-80, fuse lit. Drop in one golf ball. Stand back. Try to estimate trajectory of golf ball as it disappears from sight. Repeat until police car is sighted.
Tennis ball mortar and spud cannon sound great. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

While we are talking about stupid human tricks heres one from my childhood:
I used to own one of those foot-tall GI-Joe's most of us 30+ year olds remember while growing up. While playing with him one day, I decided that GI-Joe was going to go on ambush the VC and hid him on top of one of the lightbulbs in the living room but inside the shade so the VC couldnt find him.
Forgot about him until later that evening when a god-awful burning plastic smell filled the house. Mom found the now crippled Joe halfway melted to the lightbulb. Needless to say, GI Joe didnt see much more action on the front from that time forward! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Tie about 15 feet of toilet paper to a plastic garbage bag. Fill the bag with hydrogen gas. Let the bag float up. Then light the tail end of the toilet paper.
Well my mother never found out, but my boss was sure mad as hell. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
