CSV17 Pneumatic Antenna Launcher
The CSV17 is 17 inches long, weighs about five pounds and uses a 3″ diameter PVC pressure chamber that pumps up quicky with any tire pump and is optimized to work well with a single 12 or 16 gram CO2 cylinder per launch. It reaches up to aboout 120 feet in height and fits into an 18″ tool case. The CSV17 is available in several configurations:
- Basic Kit
- Super Kit
- Super-MCR Kit
- Deluxe PADS Super Kit (see PADS Kit)
- Semi-Assembled Option
- Pre-Assembled Option
- Launcher Accessories (see Parts and Accessories)
The CSV17 Basic Kit includes the parts for the Launcher. Assembly requires PVC Primer and Cement, and a few tools. See the instructions below for details.
The CSV17 Super and Super-MCR Kits include the Basic parts above plus Loop Kit for Six Tennis balls, Ramrod, Pressure Safety Relief valve and tap for tapping the holes into the pressure chamber.
The CSV17 Super Kit also includes a mount for your fishing reel.
The CSV17 Super-MCR Kit also includes a pre-assembled Mini Coaxial reel loaded with Launch line instead of the fishing reel mount.
The assembly instructions for the CSV17 are the same as those for the CSV19. Only a few parts are different in size. Prior to ordering you should review the assembly instructions and required tools:
The CSV17 Assembly Options are provided for those who prefer that we assemble the launcher (or at least the PVC cemented parts). This option is chosen by purchasing the Pre-Assembled or Semi-Assembled models. Three Pre-Prepared Launch Balls are included instead of the Launch Ball Loop Kit and Safety Tool set. The tap is not supplied as it is not required. The other components of the Super Kits are included with the shipment. See the Online Catalog for details. Building adds about two weeks to the order preparation process.
