Tikkat3x Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Will any 12v speed controller work on a flapper or are they just for rotarys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside1000 Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 As far as I know they limit the voltage to the motor so yes it should slow things down, but as a footnote I think the wingbeat speed varies a lot when birds are looking for landing areas, so its probably not going to make a huge difference to the effectiveness, I always ran on / off timers on my flappers so they flap and stop intermittently which seemed very effective .

Thankyou, it has a timer I was just looking to slow it down for crows, just checking that any 12v controller in line will have the same outcome?
