Way cool!
What are the approximate dimensions of the cannon, bore, length, etc?

The OD is about 1 7/8". L = approx 8" . Bore is 1" with a step down to 3/4" at the very bottom to form a powder pocket. Fuse hole is .125". Most of the dimensions were just convenient to the stock I had which was an old, defective, 12 ton hydraulic jack. The base plate is a hunk of an old
rusty snow plow mount. I never throw away metal.

I get it now. I did not initially get that you had a metal weight attached to the rope.
Such a great show! Thanks

I always thought this was WHY they made RC helicopters?

WoW! Quite a chopper! You could probably bring me up there.

Try talking nice to the fire department about their ladder truck. They are often looking for places to practice .
