Very nice gun. This is a really good first gun. I have a question though. Are you using a stungun for ignition? Also you did a great job on the propane meter and the electronics. I didn't know how to do that until I had 1 year of experience. The only thing that you should do is give it a paint job.

Very nice for a first one. I'm still on my first and it's just a basic combustion one. I haven't even gotten around to painting it.

That is awesome for a first cannon. You are possibly the only person that I knowof that started with propane instead of other crappy fuels like hairspray or deoderant.

nice propane cannon, almost looks like the first tester i made when i was around 16. Mine didnt have a stun gun ignition on it though but it had a big box like that with a rechargable battery pack and a plug to recharge it, i rigged it up from a cordless drill i think, wish i had some picture.

anyways, nice cannon, welcome to the forums
