lurcherboy Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Hello M.A.G. Firstly, are you spiking them on the carrier? If not, why not. Secondly, is it rotating two fast? Would really need more info for a detailed reply. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M ROBSON Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Make sure you run the spike as close to the birds spine as you can, it helps balance them better when their spinning. Also put a little bit of a tilt on them so that the breast is angled outwards, kind of like a centrafuge effect. This should stop them becoming miss balanced and falling off. Try to pick two birds without broken wings, flex them to get rid of rigermortis and they will work alot better. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernyha Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Further to the above advice i also try to use birds of equal weight . This keeps the rotor well balanced and is especially helpful when the ground is soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallinson Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Sometimes i use small elastic bands around the pigeons feet and wrap it onto the tightening screw for the wing arms :yp: If you know what i'm on about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
