Ok so we used this on a giant 7’ tall 1/4 that we built in the city. It was pretty awesome. My buddy brought some pretty rad dude who was throwing wallplant flares. Siq. Cops rolled up and asked us what we were doing. I explained the situation to them. A second cop car rolls up and I explain it to her, then she asks if she has time to shoot a video, gets a flip cam and proceeds to tape us to show her son. City cops rule. Probably would have been in the back of the car anywhere else.
