New Planet Eclipse high-end loader: CF200

The problem with this idea in the past is it just moves the breakage point from the feedneck itself to wherever the feedback connects to the plastic shell.

Not saying someone won't figure out a good way to do it at some point but that's been what happens in the past.

Not sure I like the rechargeable battery, I'm always a fan of being able to fix a problem at the field rather than having to put the equipment away. Small potatoes though, looks like a good design so far

Wonder if it can feed reball

i've been using the spire rechargeable battery pack for years. Works great!
When my spire back cap finally breaks, im gonna buy the PE hopper. The price and quality look good to me.

I wanted to try out a DRV but couldn't justify the price cause I knew I wasn't going to use the screen, seems like this one might be what I was looking for.

The feedneck to loader shell interface seems like a prime failure point. Feels similar to RC: replace a plastic part with a metal and it just moves the weak point somewhere else. Appears to be 3 self tappers holding it in place; I remain cautiously optimistic.

This was my concern in the beginning also. The DRV has been out for a bit now and i have not seen "virtue spire" level of things exploding apart so that good news.

Agree about the feedneck. I would bet money that the separate aluminum feedneck is a cost-saving measure.

How so? As in the injection process for making the shell is cheaper ?
