hi guys,

im new to the spud cannon world though i've played around with a few mini spudders in my day. Anyway ive got an enquiery about the design of Over/Under Combustion spudders when it comes to the C:B ratio, i was wondering when calculating the volume of the Barrel does this include the connecting bend from the combustion chamber to the barrel underneath?

The barrel starts where the potato is. Any area behind the potato that has fuel in it is considered the chamber. So in your case, yes it does.
