    The Clippard valve shown in the picture is a MAVO-3 valve. It's a normally open valve which is not a typical RC combat valve. I've personally been very satisfied dealing directly with my local Clippard distributer and I get exactly what I need.
    I like electronically piloted valves myself, using a solenoid to fire a MAV-2 with a MPA-3 actuator. Most guys I battle with use MAV-2 valves actuated with a servo.
