Oms FLARE Canister

rdmmdr · 1st January 2007, 02:36

Has Any Body Seen The Oms 660 Ft Canister For Flares Or Strobs, It Is 2.5 Inch Dia And 8 Inch Long But Are The Ends Screwed In Or Just Press In. I Can,t Tell From The Pics. I Was Thinging About Using One For A Battery/ Intermediate Board Holder. That Way For Forty Bucks I Can Get Rid Of The 100$ Cord Set And Still Have My Batteries Out Side The Loop And It Will Fit Standard Rc Nimh Battery Packs.

I have one on order that should be here anytime. When it is in my hot little hands I will measure the dimentions and see if I can take a better photo.

I finally got the canister, it took 2 months! Holy cow, OMS is slow filling orders!

Outside diameter is 2 3/8 inches, length 8 1/8 in.

Inside diameter 2 in., length between screw in plugs is 5 7/8 inches, total inside length is 7 1/2 in, diameter inside hollow in cap is 1 9/16 in.

In other words you could fit either a cylinder 2" diameter - 5 7/8" long, or one 1 9/16" diameter - 7 1/2" long.
