CSV17 - The CSV17 Pneumatic Antenna Launcher is the compact 17 inch long model. It has two inches less barrel and a one inch smaller diameter chamber. This results in a more compact launcher which has 80% of the performance of the larger 19 inch model, reaching in excess of 150 feet in line launching trajectory. The pressure chamber has been optimized for use with a smaller volume of compressed gas, allowing more efficient use of air and better compatibility with the small 12 gram CO2 cartridges. The CSV17 is designed to fit in a standard 18 inch tool case to provide enhanced portability for field applications.
SUPER - The Super option on a pre-assembled launcher includes a Pressure Safety Valve, a ramrod and three prepared launch balls. The other items in the super option such as the epoxy are consumed during the construction.
ZIP - This set includes a Zip Reel. The Zip Reel comes pre-assembled with an easily removable barrel mounting system and pre-loaded with 150 yards of Spectra type launch line. The Zip Reel has clever line holding fingers to release the line on launch, controlling the line and avoiding tangles. The large diameter of the Zip Reel (nearly two feet) allows it to feed line with minimum friction and allows the launch ball to reach maximum height. (The Zip Reel is manufactured by Saunders Archery. The mounting system is designed by Eric WD6CMU.)
PRE-ASSEMBLED - This launcher comes pre-assembled and tested. We have done all the glueing, drilling and tapping so the launcher is ready to use (some minor disassembly for shipment may require reassembly before use).
NOTE - Pre-assembly is a custom request and adds one to several weeks to the delivery time.
