I just used the "twist" valve. Cheap and easy. It outperforms my
Ezi-Hang by far. I can get twice the height from the spud gun. Mine
is made out of high strength pipe that is not UV stabilized but I
figured that it wouldn't be spending that much time in the sun
anyway. I have 12 volt compressor and a small gel-cell battery and I
pump it up to 100 psi and pop away it goes. Best antenna investment
I have made yet. And my kids think it's the funniest thing going.
Shooting over 30m+ gum trees is a breeze. Now all I have to worry
about is the snakes when I am looking for the weight.
