We had a great Field Day again this year, I hope everyone else did as well. While we were setting up we refurbished one of the original 8 launchers that we made kits for when we started making launchers in the early 2000’s. We put a new barrel-chamber spacer in, and added a new plastic strut from the trigger to the launcher. These are easy and not very expensive upgrades that make a launcher far more rigid.

This year we tested a new launcher design that packs a lot more barrel and chamber length into that 17 inch form factor. More on that later.

The new mini coaxial reel worked out well. More on that later as well.

We also tried a drone line launch. It is not as easy as one would think. After a couple of tries we pulled out the launcher and finished the job quickly. Drones are an interesting way to launch lines but neither easy nor quick. 🙂

Now we’re working on our shop space. A new segmented garage type door was installed and everything is out of place due to clearing things out for the work. At the same time we’re making some improvements in layout. We’ll be back on line in a few more days.

Thanks for your patience,
