elmafud Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Ordered a pair of hypa flaps yesterday at 13:30, received them today ready for shooting tomorrow. A big thanks to Sarah and the gang, fantastic service. Got the pw discount too. Quick test in the garden they look great. What do you guys think of them?

malkiserow Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hyperflaps are very good. I was unimpressed with their bouncers that failed me many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljaddy12 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 There not bad at all but you will need to us 2 rods instead of 1 for anything stronger than a breeze mine was shipped with 4 oh and just a tip the mono retaining line that stops the wings flipping was far too long on mine tied a loop in it to shorten it worked perfect then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Hypaflaps are excellent IMO, either on a rotary or a floater. I always use the stiffer rods and have also slightly shortened the mono line so they didn't flap too frantically (what "ljaddy12" referred to). A friend also has hypaflaps, he didn't shorten the mono and they look superb, it may just be a random thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made a film of the Hyaflap, usng a camera attached to the wing of a model aircraft, and flew over it,....what the Pigeon sees is ten times better than, the view we get, sideways on.

Do you have a link to that video, that would be really interesting ............ I am a big hyperflap fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
