I know practically NOTHING about electronics but I'm hoping you can forgive my ignorance and help me fulfill my childish dream of being able to remotely launch fireworks from an rc helicopter. Pleaseee! (I'm only talking about the smallest fireworks you can get - weight is an important issue here)
I have taken the circuitry from a cheap rc car toy and I have a christmas light bulb which I have broken the glass from the end of so the filament is exposed. The rc car had two motors controlled independently by two buttons on the transmitter. The car was powered by 3 AA batteries. I'm hoping that if I remove the motors and solder the lightbulb's wires to the wires that were connected to the motors then this will allow me to switch on the lightbulb remotely. Then hopefully the filament itself will be capable of igniting a firework fuse. Is this likely to work? and, if not, how can I make it work?
