Ooops, edited the titles of your launcher incorrectly stating it was from Japan. Your IP address was sourced out of Japan, but I think we can understand the reasoning of that...

Should have first tried finding out which language 电磁阀 was. Turns out it means, solenoid valve in Chinese?


Of course, nice launcher and construction! Using the resources you have available to you, in your country, can be a unique challenge.

The launcher looks nice. I have no idea of the available piping there, but you did a good job. Maybe you could shorten that hose?
I haven't seen much members from Asia yet, so you are one of the first.

Welcome to the forum.

It would be interesting to see how the hobby is regarded by the authorities...

I don't think that there is any difference when compared with Europe

I think it's all about language... similarly, this is exactly the reason why there have been only a couple of people from eastern Europe... in fact I suppose it's even worse for Chinese as they must learn Latin alphabet (abcdefgh and so on) first

Thanks

The hose is a section of air room

I don't think anyone in Europe is living under a totalitarian regime, there is a slight difference surely.

Back to the launcher, what pressure are you using? For a small calibre, higher pressures usually help :)

@cangying
If you need a cheap high pressure compressor you can have a look here ->>

http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/my-comp ... 11866.html

fridge compressors can reach over 3.5 MPA
anyone in Europe is living under a totalitarian regime
I don't think that China is the same country as it was 20 years ago...

so you're saying that we are not living in totalitarian regimes ? lol what about strict gun laws then ? I don't want to go off topic more but it's all subjective
