caeser Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I've just come across this Turbo flapper from china on the great auction website.Item number 130965873632 . From what you can see it looks half decent. Price isn't too bad, I was wondering if anybody had bought one of these, and can give a bit of a review.

Penfolio Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 For the price plus postage, you could buy one here in the UK with no risk of it being a piece of tat or, getting stung for taxes/fees if C&E get their mits on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Agreed , you will get one from AA decoys complete with a timer unit for £45 + postage , you would need to but a timer for that one anyway . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caeser Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I forgot all about the C+E . Very good point, I've been stung by them once or twice. Still , it doesn't look bad quality. I have got a turbo flapper, purchased in UK, works a treat, but build quality is not up to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent36 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I think thats where Paul Hart (Thepigeonshooter) got his made, Some one told me it had faults on it. If you get stuff made like that in china they will jump on the "band wagon" and under cut everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACK Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 One I bought at a gamefair looks remarkably similar. Its a sturdy well made piece of kit which gives me confidence. However it does not beat anything like as fast as the AA decoys variant which is similarly priced and comes with timer. I have found it does work well with corvids as the slower wing beat appears more appropriate. That said I have had pigeons, crows and to my surprise even ducks come in within a foot of the AA flapper. I recommend the AA turboflapper and a friend who saw it in action immediately ordered from the same company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
