lazza Posted February 19, 2002 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2002 Hiya William I wish I lived close to you.I'd have a couple of little jobs for you!I have enough trouble wiring a plug,never mind trying to make arms for the magnet!! :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted February 19, 2002 Report Share Posted February 19, 2002 Your right I don’t think they would like it but it depends if they have a patent on it. If they don't want people to copy it they should charge a reasonable price. I know that there is a lot of development involve but the basic kit cant cost more then £50.00 its only an old wiper motor and some steel from the local fabrication company and they the tools to but it together. :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 I bet that is a sight to see, two pigeons flapping at high speed as if their life depended on it. Wait thats what happens when I miss (all to often) :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazza Posted February 20, 2002 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 For anyone who could'nt grasp the last sentence of Kev's post on the 18th.I think he meant to say "and then the tools to put it together". For anyone with children:don't let them leave school at 7! lol! lol! :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazza Posted February 20, 2002 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 Hiya Mick It had'nt thought about just using one flapper arm,sometimes I find it hard enough to balance the magnet with two of the same.If they made the parts cheaper I'm sure more people would buy them.I noticed a set of second hand flappers in the Sporting Gun for £200! Was that supposed to be a bargain?& secondly why were they being sold? Does it take much longer to set up with the strings?And more importantly does it take longer to pack away? If I win the lottery I'll buy you another flapper arm! All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deako Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 I think all this talk of flapper arms is nonsense,heres the method I use.......you need to employ a small boy(cost about£1 per day).Paste the boy with a generous amount of PVA glue and roll him in several sacks of pigeon feathers,taking care to glue the primaries on his arms properly. Next,force him to run about in your pattern shouting"coo coo",with the occasional simulated peck.He may object,just remind him he is getting paid. This method really works,only last week I shot 7342 pigeons in 25 minutes!!!!!........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
