After removing the battery contacts, a new
3.5vdc battery and on-off switch was added.
Then the motor was removed from the power
leads and a NiChrome wire was soldered across
those wires. Seen here are firecrackers with that
NiChrome wire looped around each fuse.

The original transmitter is used to signal the
receiver to apply power to the NiChrome wire
thus igniting the fuses.

NiChrome wire can be found in all sorts of electric appliances, electronic components and can be purchased at
hobby shops and electronics supply houses. This wire is can be used for cutting foam of all types. A simple hot wire
saw was made for cutting the foam in the camera mod page. If you really can't afford to purchase this wire, a form
can be retrieved from an old wire wound power resistor or even an electric toaster. The glowing elements of the
toaster is NiChrome wire, snip off a piece and experiment different lengths and different DC voltages. WATCH OUT.
A piece of wire with voltage applied may not glow but WILL BURN YOU! Use caution when messing around with it.

The things that look like firecrackers are hand
rolled and painted rocket engines. Seven of
these missiles are loaded into the rear of the
launch pod and all fuses are daisy chained
around the inner fuseway.
Daisy chained so each missile is consecutively
fired one at a time minimizing drone instability.
The NiChrome wire loop, pulled through a small
hole from inside, is wound around a single
protruding fuse.

This view is of the receiver package tucked neatly within the upper hull. The antenna is allowed to dangle below
the drone. The igniter leads are passed thru a small hole in the foam just below, and in back of the launch pod.

NOTE- IF you launch pyrotechnics from your drone keep in mind, there will be ALLOT of HOT, BURNING DEBRIS!
This back blast WILL eat the foam hull, PIT the lenses of any cameras and in the worse case scenario CATCH YOUR
DRONE ON FIRE and burn it to a crisp! Definantly NOT covered under WARRANTY! Think about it please.
There are things you can do, small stuff to protect your investment if you plan on firing pyros from it.
