The Fourth of July is fast approaching, and what better way to celebrate the independence of your country than by blowing up a small piece of it? [Anzel360] decided to take that line of thought to a whole new level by adding a bomb bay (http://www.anzel360.com/rc/the-quad-bomber/) to his quadrocopter.

[Anzel360] recently upgraded his transmitter to a Spektrum DX8 (http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPM8800) , giving him two extra channels on his four-channel quadrotor. After adding a small servo to the quad, it was a simple matter of taping a box to the undercarriage and filling it full of fireworks.

The ammo [Anzel] is using is just a handful of Snappin' Pops - otherwise known as the lamest firework ever created. We won't hold that against him, though; a remote ignition system for a few Black Cats mounted on a fancy quadrocopter is just asking for trouble. We do recall a throwable cap gun bomb from our youth, though, that would allow for year-round ammo replenishment...
