ScubaSparky Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 some job on the garage, looked like you had i lot of broken stuff in first pic perhaps if the linkage jams under stress its a good idea that the plastic breaks rather than motor burn out. Motor burn out, that's why I started the Thread the other day asking about the protection fuse. If the motor jammed, it would blow the cheap fuse instead of the expensive motor.

My offer still stands I'll give you a tenner and take a chance that Andy from AA Decoys will send me a new part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jam1e Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Just come across this thread as about to buy a flapper... I saw AA and A1 Decoy at the show. Wish I'd bought one at the time, now have p&p on top! Is the opinion still looking the same a few months on? As in AA Decoy flappers are just as good as A1 Decoy? atb Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShropshireSam Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I've had an AA flapper for over a year and used it numerous times all day with no problems and very happy with it, the magnet stays in the car on most outings now.

Cheers for the info Sam This battery is the one AA Decoys recommend for the flapper. Has anyone bought this one, and did it last all day? I appreciate I can call them, which is what I intend to do, but I'd also like to know from users how long they last.
