We had a great time at Radiofest. We spoke with a lot of great folks. There was a lot of interest in the first Threaded CSV17. It came home with us, so it will shortly be shipped to a recent customer… More are on the workbench now in various stages of construction. The new instructions are nearly finished for kit versions of the threaded design. All purchased models will be threaded now, the last few non-threaded kits will go out shortly for earlier orders.

The new threaded launchers are  easier to assemble and maintain. The instructions are simplified so more people will be able to construct kits. The new kits will have fewer PVC cement joints, and no epoxy is required. If a launcher gets broken it is easier to repair the threaded components.
