Every now and then a customer sends us a photo of a well built launcher. This one has a bright paint job that makes it stand out as a great example of a CSV19:
Thanks to Ron N3ETA for this photo and paintjob!

Barrels Again
Periodically we have difficulty getting our special barrel material, and that happened just before Field Day this year. The supplier we had been using changed their computer system and seemed to lose the recipe for ordering this little used variety of pipe. After Field Day I put in another order and they found a batch for us. I don’t know if it will be a problem next time, but I ordered enough to do for quite a while.
Today we worked on cleaning up the pipe and making parts for kits. A bunch of orders will go out early next week. We will soon put barrel material back on the order page as it is no longer low on stock. We have enough for many launchers. Until next time…
We have a new discussion list that is getting some activity. If you have questions that is the place to go. One question we’d like to ask you is threaded versus cemented launchers. We are nearing the end of the batch of threaded valves and we’d like to hear from folks as to which type they prefer. Join us on the discussion list and let’s hear from you!
New Instructions
The new assembly instructions are making significant progress. Many photos have been added, and there will be more in the coming days. The instructions are linked through the launcher manual pages or here:
