Ok, that sounds good, i can probably use a lot of the parts from my failed coaxial piston, this may be a great alternative for me! :D

Pilot volume is on the huge side but you also have a massive pilot valve so I guess the power is still there. Use up all your air, there are unpressurised kids in India! :)

Why did you use the union? It's totally unnecessary and is just another $10 out of your wallet...

That pilot volume is absolutely incredibly small. You are all comparing it to something piloted by a blowgun, but his is piloted by a 1" sprinkler valve. His valve is probably one of the fastest opeing on this site... You try piloting a 1/2 inch valve with a 1" valve, it will open fast
