kick ass! i think that is the best, loudest, generally awesomest mini(combustion) i have seen.
what did you A: use as the disk, and B: use as the fuel.
i love the lighter integrated handle thing, very erganomic. cant wait for some damage!
<<you have brightened up pocket kitty's day!
PS. your in France, right? or am i crazy...

yeah lol, i'm in france!! So for the disk, it's a piece of transparent paper hoding pocket (is that the way it's called? you know to range it in a sorter)
and the fuel is "Nivea" Deodorant, that uses both butane and propane as a propeller.(until i get some little propane tanks...)
hey it's so cool to have great feedback!! well, for the lighter....i thought that i could maybe keep it like it was and i think i did it. I forced it screw in the 1/2" ==> 3/8" bushing, and used some epoxy to fill the hole and harden the wire end a bit. super glue was then added to harden it much more.

It i fricken loud, i have shot it twice it my room (dry fired) and my ear were ringing for like...5 minutes. outside, it does just a little reverberation in the little woods behind my house. (you can see in the video it was a really great day!!)

edit:
YEEEEEEEE 300 posts!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :D :D :D
