silly string streamer

[schlechtbar]

I'm wondering if its possible to use silly string on a plane. Have 2 or 4 cans spray from the wings. I've never used silly string and not sure what it is that comes out of the cans. Think it can be done? I'll have to go buy a can.

Too heavy, and it would be hard to get a servo to activate it. Probably too much effort for not enough reward.

Heavy? Maybe. Hard? I don't think so, just look at the EDF afterburner video, it could be done I'm sure. To me the biggest problem would be the speed of the plane not allowing the string to stay together while still liquid.

Anyone who has done a drive-by silly string attack (I am not confessing to this act in any way ) will tell you that the resistance of the air will shear the "string" into confetti at a higher speed (probably above 10mph, just a guess). You'd have to shoot the string backwards and be going slow for it to maintain the "string" property and not become confetti.
