captainhastings Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 My ff6 is off for repair and i was pondering upgrading to the remote. Any one find it a useful feature ? I guess you can adjust to flap on timer as standard and also flap when you want ? We have found some time a bird will be passing and thinking flap now flap now so its them occasions I am thinking of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigeon jim Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 I use a remote with the auto bouncer, you can stop it when birds are committed as it can spook them if it jumps as there coming in, Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could get one these. Connect it up press top button and it's a timer. Back in the hide you can stop it with the bottom button. Press the top button off it goes again. A1 do one but twice the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carry a spare battery for the remote with you just in case. Like all things the more add ons the more to potentially to go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good shot? Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 DC 12v 10A relay 1CH 1 channel wireless RF Remote Control Switch ON/OFF+Remote Google search for the above.( item number:233593828541) I have one on a flapper and it works a treat at good ranges. I too want my flapper to flap when 'I' want it to. I got mine direct from UK supplier but most now seem to be from China with a longer delivery date.

Have done a couple of them they work OK at distance starting the flapper but not very good stopping it above 25 yds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellors Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 I'm working on one of these at the moment. I regularly run two flappers independently with good results. Just waiting for some wireless sender and receiver units then it will be compact wire free and full control able from the hide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhastings Posted October 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 I have given nick the go ahead to fit one while he has it. Quite interesting to see what people are using though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite interesting to see what people are using though I'm sure you'll be pleased with it. Good bit of kit happy with mine. My new timer will run two as and when needed by remote or one on and one off. Still learning electronics though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhastings Posted October 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Well its back with all new arms and every thing. But got bit confused in the chit chat and no remote. It also just flaps non stop. Waiting for nick to get back to me but I guess now would be a good time to buy a remote. I need some thing idiot proof to wire up though.

captainhastings Posted October 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Turns out was me being stupid. I actually have a timer if was the other bit of cable in me bag lol. But even with that it flaps non stop. So I either need to get another off nick or ebay which either is quickest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd have gone with the one nick fits for the price and time it takes to get it altered. . There very fast without the speed controller. His has the option of timer and speed control all in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhastings Posted October 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Nick is sending me out the timer and remote. Apparently it just plugs in so nice and easy. He gives a good service fair play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
