fenboy Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 All the speed controllers I have seen have had a fuse , you really do not need a speed controller , they are more trouble than they are worth , just run the magnet as fast as it will go.

A1Decoy Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Daz, our magnets are set at the perfect speed for pigeons. You should not need a speed controller unless you are using it with crows. I will send you a PM about the problems you are having with the controller. Kind regards, Oscar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just an opinion motty, i probably should have worded it better. We believe they are set at the perfect speed for pigeons, as we have tested them at various speeds over a period of time, and we found that faster is better when it comes to pigeons.

Kind regards, Oscar I certainly prefer the birds to be going around at a fair rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
