The June (by Field Day) batch of launchers is in process now. There are a couple of boxes from the last batch that are about to go out, the rest are already gone. Most of the parts for the FD batch are made, and glue-up has begun. I’m going to have a busy week. My goal is to get them out the door friday or at the latest monday. We will ship UPS in a way that should arrive by the following thursday for Field Day. Foreign orders may take another day or two to ship and the shipment timing is not predictable.
The next batch of launchers will begin after Field Day, which ends the 24th of June this year.
A Draft of our new online Launcher User Manual is available now. Please send us any comments. This document is stored in our new web document system and can be easily updated and maintained.
Tonite we were testing a launcher we are building for a customer. It had the recently noted ‘honking launcher’ problem. We tried a few of the new air dusters and several of them had the problem.
Recommendation to Kit Builders – Don’t cement the trigger to brass elbow and brass elbow to valve top joints. It is much easier to troubleshoot and repair without cement. If you have a bad trigger contact us.
We are working on a measurement system to test the triggers before they are shipped. This may create an additional delay in shipping some launchers, but we want them to work properly.
If your launcher won’t make at least 100 feet of elevation with 50 psi it may have this problem. Contact us.
