spready Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Ive got myself an AA decoys turbo flapper, it comes with the intermittent controller, but can i also fit a speed controller to it too, will that then slow the wing beats down and make it more usable for crows maybe?

evo Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 no need to bud, just use it as it is,,brings the crows in superb so you would just be wasting money,,stick a crow on it and find out just how good they are atb Evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, the speed controller, connected to the battery, THEN connect that to the random timer, either way you wont do any damage trying. Probably best to remember to wind the speed controller down before you try,then crank it up to the seed you want. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goober Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Best try random timer,then speed as the speed first will supply low voltage to random timer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goober Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I bought a voltage step-up from eBay to try on my old flapper but haven't got around to trying it. It has adjustment via a tiny screw(potentiometer)but also a large heat sink(which may mean it uses a lot more power?)adjusts 12v up to about 18v I think. Has anyone tried this as dc motors could take a little more voltage than 12v. I am presuming that standard speed controllers operate up to battery voltage(12v). Would be interesting to have a view off an electrician? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
