Westley Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Has anyone bought or used a 'cheapo' remote control switch off the bay ? They look to be from China, do they come via the slow boat, or is delivery time reasonable and how reliable are they when they arrive ? I planned on trying one on my pigeon flapper. Any advice would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deny essex Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 I have used a couple of different remotes from china for several flappers and projects, all have worked even if somewhat short of wiring instructions , but notice now on one of the types they include wiring instructions on the bay. No all are within UK frequencies so are not really legal for UK use. range can be around 30/40 yards depending on mount height. Delivery usually reasonable within 10 days Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deny essex Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Invaluable if you use a dog for picking up, dogs do tend to get wrapped up in long wire leads and bring the electrics back to the hide. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
