We have marked launchers in stock in our online catalog at https://akbeng.com/catalog today for a short time window. Quantities are limited. They will be marked out of stock when our quota for this batch is reached. Launchers are custom made to order (not pre-stocked items), we have some parts on hand but others must be ordered or made as required. The goal is to ship this batch within 90 days of the order date, last time it took longer than expected to get through the batch, this time we will restrict the batch quantity to a smaller number. Make sure to refresh your browser page to get the updated catalog.

The launchers will be fabricated and shipped in an efficient order for our manufacturing which may vary with launcher type, etc. Kits will generally be shipped earlier than pre-assembled launchers. Some launcher types may not be included in this batch. Shipping service interruptions may affect choices of shipper or shipping costs, adjustments may even be required. Shipping included in the catalog is an estimate.

Limit one launcher per customer for this batch.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Currently we are crunching through the backlog of orders. It is taking longer than originally expected, but things are moving along. About 2/3 of them are already shipped, and at the current rate we will be through them before Field Day. I was hoping to do another batch before FD but that is unlikely at this point. Thanks for your patience. If you have any questions please send email.

We’ve reached the end of the first quarter and we have started shipping orders from this large batch, but we have not been able to complete them all yet as was our goal. That will take a few more weeks. The 3d printer is quiet and we have piles of machined parts, but there is more final touches, packing, assembling, quality control and shipping to do. We will not sacrifice quality to rush this.

Thanks for your patience.
