    Chuck, let me in on these plans...  Also to create a better can 
launcher I have now taken an empty, FRESHLY, beer can and have decided 
to pour about 1/2 inch of body filler in the bottom. Next I am looking 
at mounting a M80 fire cracker to the side of the can and will give the 
can a shot of either before putting it onto the straight pipe. I think I 
can get the can to fly about 300-400 feet into the air with this set-up 
and if the firecracker is lit at the proper time even better flight is 
expected. I have also thought about the use of a baggie and some 
gasoline in it on the inside of the can and maybe 2-3 M80's fused 
together along with maybe some sackrete in the bottom of the can.. and 
cutting the can with slits along the side. Maybe old nails and glass 
would work too......   What do you think? 8-)
