As a person who sells I-P/E-P regulators.. I would say you'd have a really tough time finding one that's COTS for less than $400. Typically $600-$900 so this is a moot point. Clippard makes one that is ~$60 but the flow is so low that it's, likely, not applicable.

The EPP4 (which is 1/2" ported so also not legal from that standpoint) is ~$900 list price.

Sorry, it's also available in 1/4"NPT, my mistake.

Also, I should say that their might be a product that has a retail price of $399.99 or less. But not one that I'm aware of.

Re: remote control air regulator

If you're looking for a good solution, Team 358 solved this problem in 2012 mechanically. The details are on their website, but basically, from what I remember, they had a regulator set to 60 psi as a failsafe, and then attached a secondary regulator to a window motor (and I'm assuming some sort of sensor) to turn the knob and adjust the working pressure on their catapult.

Yeah, it was something in my inbox about them expanding the line that prompted me to look more closely. ~$400 is too rich for us anyways!

Thanks for the info!
