Used to make these to launch potatoes back in the day. We used hairspray and a grill igniter instead of compressed air though. It was the late 80's and hairspray was quite prevalent in those big hair days. Now we have a more practical use for them.
I hear people say they launched potatoes all the time so i just wanted to know what is the purpose of launching a potato? What purpose does it serve. I can see people launcer projectiles for antenna purposes but why are people so into launching potatoes. What purpose does it serve?
Iv had the APTA for a couple of years now and love it. I now have a Craftsman battery powered air compressor that has a digital screen and you just preset desired PSI up to 160 PSI and it will automatically shut off when it gets there. Super compact and convenient. I would like to know if you guys are ever going to make a bigger one. Definitely looking for something that can send a line 3 x what the APTA can.
@@patmcfarland9880 with 160 PSI it will go around 160 feet straight up. It matches the psi pretty much??? 100 psi 100 feet . Straight up. so sometimes you get a better with an arch just depends on the situation.
When I shoot mine into the tree the weight will not come down because it gets caught in the tree limbs. Sometimes it goes perfectly over a tree branch but the weight still will not come down.
Not to be that guy, but at $350.....this is all Home Depot stuff even going with metal pipes and fittings, and a stop by Napa for the valve stem.... I made one from schedule 80 pvc a few years ago and use a Makita inflator. Easily launches well over 100' and maybe 30 bucks into it.

@@BlackHamRadioUniversity childish fun. Shenanigans and such.
Just launched a 10lb bag on a river trip last week. Aquanet is still available. Too much fun.

How far will your APTA shoot?

try a 14 oz weight, or a lighter line.
Can you give me the name and model number of the air pupm that you are using in this video? Thanks
Its a Lezyne Floor Drive.
Does tree stuff have an app for mobile phones or just the internet site
Just our sweet website.
Best!!
Seriously neat looking but you can build this for under $60 so really your price is way over the top.
$360? C'mon man.
I made one from pvc pipe and 70 psi is way more than needed to send a 16 oz throw ball over 100 feet. Not sure why you would need 150 psi??
PS cost under $40.00
Its definitely cheaper to DIY out of PVC compared to the aluminum.
Can make it for way less than $100.
Soo pretty much a bait caster, potato gun
