jcbbracken Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 hi anyone bought one of these are the any good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deny essex Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Certainly costly, nothing included , un-likely to take real birds so have to use hypas all the time (which I use as starter decoys on my rotary) the light weight is very good though. I made a lightweight hypaflap rotary from a kids toy , telescopic fishing whip arms an old rod rest and some odds and bods , lasted 5 years . In the process of making another when I can get my butt in gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 I have one and its light weight is the attraction (I think it weighs about 1lb), you can only use Hypaflaps on it, which I use mainly anyway, so it suits me when I have to carry my stuff a distance. I also have a couple of the standard rotaries for general use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on a normal magnet, you can only use Hyperflaps up to a moderately windy day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushpower Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 For me they are light to carry over a long distance,also exstend the life of the battery. They are life like and certainly attract the pigeon. If the wind is strong put two bars in each wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busa2003 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 I start with mine but find they make a bit to much noise sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
