This is one of the most simple combustions you can make (minus the paint :laughing7: .) This is one of the best performing combustions I've made. It can shoot pretty far, estimating about 300 ft :shaking2: ! Like always, questions and comments are always accepted.

Run that pipe that the pezio is in to the clean-out to hide/protect wires
