  1. Hi folks - managing to use the forum through an alternate browser, still working on the problems with Apple Safari ? (Please Admin, if you have any ideas why the problem, please let me know) I have more pics of the Jeep, taken today. If you're interested, please send me a message with your email address and I will attach them all on a reply (files too big for on here). Cheers to all those showing an interest. Malcolm
  2. Sorry everybody - doing this now on iPhone as the site will not provide me with a useable dialogue box when using computer ??? Trying to rectify it, unless Admin have any ideas? As soon as I touch the dialogue box I only get the message โ€œDrag files here to attachโ€ and will not let me enter any text. Tried other parts of the forum and just get the same thing?
  3. Good call, but pointless if you don't let them know why. Send them an email ๐Ÿค™
  4. I did apply for 4 x individual licences to cover 4 x permissions - have not yet received any response. Not surprised really as they must have thousands of applications. Personally I still believe that a new GL will be issued soon, but wanted to cover my back in case further unexpected delays occur. Not absolutely certain, but I think even Andy Crow stated that once the applications have been acknowledged (which they have) then it is ok to proceed, but I'm a bit wary of that and think I'll wait until I get a response from NE ?
  5. Hope it went well - but suspect you were subjected to 50mph winds - same for me too on Foulness Island ๐Ÿ˜ณ
  6. Just heard from an acquaintance in Essex that he received his Shotgun Certificate this morning . . . . . . . . . . ELEVEN DAYS from putting in his application. WOW !!!
  7. Mostly pigeon and rabbit, and a couple with squizzers
  8. HURRAH . . . . . . . AT LAST Thanks to Motty and Ginger Cat for answering the question. My conclusion is, firstly, that the Rotary was obviously assembled incorrectly at point of manufacture, otherwise it would work in the proper way (relative to the angles on the unit) when leads are attached correctly to the battery. Secondly, I am now happy that my permanent use of reversed polarity is unlikely to cause any long term damage to the motor. The End ๐Ÿ™‚
  9. Yeah it can of course, but that still gives the effect of the decoy lifting its head to see where it is going to nose dive !!! Didn't bother to fit the wing spreader for the purpose of these photos
  10. Not sure mate but can try to find out. Its available on Amazon for approx 15 quid ๐Ÿ™‚
  11. Hi all - just thought I would give a quick "heads up" for a cookery book called "Delicious Vermin". This book was written by a friend of a friend, and I supplied her with some of the 'vermin' that she used to practice and finesse her recipes. Anyway, its an interesting compilation, and available on Amazon
  12. As requested. . . . . . the magnet is from A1 Decoys - purchased 2-3 years ago. Little used and not used at all for over a year. Not sure of the model as it does not appear on the current A1 web site. Hopefully you can see that the angle of the pigeon arm rises up to the left and therefore indicating an anti-clockwise rotation - hence my memory of it traveling in that direction. I guess I must have simply reversed polarity when it was used before, but just don't remember doing that, but must have 'cos even I am not stupid enough to send them rotating tail first. Still now I do find it odd that mechanically it clearly shows the unit should travel anti-clockwise, but when wired correctly it travels clockwise? Its easy enough to reverse the polarity of course, but my question still is . . . . . does this cause any long term damage to the motor, or not a jot and it run equally efficiently in both directions?
  13. Thanks for your "mostly" helpful responses. There was however a sensible reason for my confusion and question, in that on my Rotary, when the arms are in place, the rods that pigeons are secured on are tilted upwards slightly to the left, indicating that it should be traveling in an anti-clockwise direction, and I therefore set the decoys facing to the left, assuming the decoy should appear slightly rising as opposed to taking a nose dive. ๐Ÿ˜ And yet when attaching the wiring to the battery in the correct colour scheme, it actually rotates in a clockwise direction. Just seemed a bit odd that the mechanics indicate one way but the motor travels the opposite when wired correctly. Nevertheless, I am quite happy to simply reverse polarity, but once again my question is, will this cause any damage to the motor on a long term basis?
