Thanks for the post, Ed. For a model that size it does have a loud report, and I've noticed (from watching other YouTube cannon vids) that Europeans seem to use electronic ignition on their model guns to a greater extent than we do here.
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

I admit my guilt, this is way off topic, but I just couldn't resist posting it. After I looked at the vid that El Caz posted, I started looking at the related vids listed on the same Y-Tube page, and came across this gem. Sometimes, the brilliance of our species can only be described as amazing. I would love to have a video of the insurance agent's reaction when he first heard the reasons for a claim being filed by the owner of the damaged Cadillac.
