It's like living in a dance club or a movie theater. It takes a little time to set it all up, but once everything is synced up, your whole house plays back the music. I've done this with four different audio sources at once. When you drag the slider bar to the left or right for each speaker, it will adjust to sync up with the playback of the audio of another speaker. But, Airfoil has its own advanced speaker options that let us manually sync audio across all of the speakers playing audio. Thanks for stopping by and if you enjoyed this post I would love to send you an email every time I have a new post.There is always going to be a little bit of audio lag when you first set up your multi-room speaker array. The Aviation theme is cool, any other themed design pens that pique your interest? I’m impressed Grant took a chance on his passionate design then continues to refine it based on customer feedback. Keep an eye out for this one on Kickstarter and at. If you haven’t tried one add it to your want to try list. I was impressed with its smooth and consistent flow with no skips or missed starts. I’m a Schmidt fan but had never used the ceramic roller before. My writer came with the Schmidt Safety Ceramic Roller 888. (Photo credits and property of Masterstroke) I’m sure others in the G2 format fit as well. The Airfoil Click accepts a wide variety of the popular entries including: The team at Masterstroke has learned that pen people are particular about our refills. The clip is ornamented with the company logo and the name airfoil in white print. It tapers down thinner at the bottom to match the cut outs in the body so you can tell the cap was made for this pen and not just plucked from a parts bin. The clip has good angles and curves with the right amount of spring tension. The two sections of the body start easy every time with none of the annoying squeals or roughness of fresh cut threads in metal that can sometimes try too hard to match too tight. Threads for the barrel are well cut and exceptionally smooth. The knock will be familiar to many of us machined pen fans and that’s a good thing, no redesign needed of an established high end component. The Airfoil Click came to me with tight tolerances, a smooth finish without being slippery and a really smooth click mechanism. The three ridges near the writing end give your fingers a good feel to position your grip without a lot of fumbling around or when picking up the pen in a dimly lit environment. It’s rounded and smooth with a good balance for my conventional grip and larger hands. There is a lot more material between the tip and clip now. The Airfoil Click retains a lot of the coolness factor and aviation design elements but it’s a kinder feel to the web between our index finger and thumb. I didn’t get to sample the first pen but after working with him I know he took the input to heart and the refinements paid off in his latest offering. Grant took a little heat on the first design for being hard to hold for long periods of time. Granted, most don’t make it a better writer but they don’t take away from it either and whether you’re a person that likes things that fly or not, the conversation fodder is unique. I find it ingenious how subtle design hints attribute themselves to planes and things that fly. I did some research reading on the Masterstroke website to learn more about the design. I’m not a big aviation enthusiast so I was oblivious to so many of the design elements. It’s a cool looking pen, I think most would agree. Branding on the outside of the box is prominent. A two piece box with foam insert that has a fitted cut out for the pen, including finger reliefs. Packaging is carried over from the original design which I think was a good choice. I offer you the diary of our time together. After a successful Kickstarter campaign Grant Takara over at Masterstroke Pens recently granted me the opportunity to review his next venture, the Click Airfoil. They are taking chances and listening to their customers to make a great product greater. So many great products coming from talented entrepreneurial machine shops and design firms. I love the Kickstarter machine pen movement of 2014.
