You know this thread isn't just for me, you can post any pneumag news/info in here. Ideas are welcome on my project.

I just tested mine out the second time.. And this time, it worked much like I hoped. I'm still unsure of what pressure to go (I'd really like to double reg it so I can cange pressure in smaller incruments).

I was testing with one of my ruined actuators, but it sorta worked. The piston is in two pieces becuase I broke the epoxy off... Long story. Maybe on the third trial I'll figure out a way to bolt the riv-nut into the delrin piston.

Anyways, I just popped my thumb on the actuator, and started walking away (while the reg was leaking.. Needs loctite).

I didnt get to fine tune anything (and remember my thumb was being used as tension for the actuator), but I estimate I was walking 14-15. Not bad at all. The trigger was very light.

I bet if I was in a mor comfortable position I could've gone faster for longer.
