Auk I
Finely gorund black powdered mix, went 50ft up and aimed for bystanders.
"whoosh" down the mountain, barely missed the mine, landed in coal dust beside the railroad track and took a chunk out of a brick building.
Steel body with welded steel bar stock, sat spewing sparks for a minute, took off 10ft and bounced off a tree, then went up 20ft and "droped like a dead bird".
Built like Auk II and twirled up, twanged off a maple tree, and thudded into side of the mountain.
1 1/4 aluminum tubing, soldered washer on end, wooden bullet shape nosde cone, had black powder/stamp glue mix, raised 6ft and made a "poot" sound and fell into a cloud of gray smoke.
