Daystate AirWolf CDT (Full Review) The Original E-Gun w/ 16 settings

20210321_072142.1616338688.jpg


Hey guys. I got ahold of a 2008 Daystate AirWolf CDT. This was the first electronically controlled air rifle (with a bottle). They must have got it right on the first try. This gun shoots every bit as good as a Red Wolf, as far as I can tell. This video will cover the history of the CDT as well as the operation and accuracy. Find out why YOU need an AirWolf CDT in your collection. Thanks for watching! -Nate

So ya know ..... CDT does not use a pressure transducer which interfaces with the electronics. MCT does use the pressure transducer and has a much more even power delivery as HPA tank changes in available pressure.

"M" being MAP is the term used where the electronics have a map that pending pressure at given sampling points alters the solenoid strike energy so the power output stays even.

Your "C" version gun will have a bell curve just like any other UNREGULATED pcp. This curve will shift position in the Ideal fill pressure based upon what power level your using.

Personally own a MCT that is very early and has BOTH an analog gauge and electric display showing tank pressure.
 
Nate, as alluded to above, there is a lot more different in the CDT and MCT than just the pressure gauge. In fact, I don’t even think that is in the mix of the differences. 

Also, that beefy shroud is not AoA produced but rather made by Allen Zasadny (AZ). He is a very well known tuner that gained early fame for his work with Theoben PCPs, especially Rapids. 

Thank you for sharing the video. Interesting. This proves what I’ve said all along; Daystate electronics are proven. Not a new gimmick and they are proven to be reliable as they have been for years!
 
Thanks for the corrections and info. If they taught this stuff in History class I would have paid attention!

I should have been able to figure that out. The seller of this gun had said it had been sent to Allen...he may have added a Huma to it as well. There was a Huma tag and bag in the box. 

the nicad batteries of that time were a problem.

funny, in RC they use Lipos, like the new Red Wolf. But lipos MUST be stored at 3.8 volts or they swell and are ruined, You also can't keep them fully charged (4.2 volts per cell) or the same thing will happen (damage). Not sure how that works in the Red Wolf...maybe 1 cell battery's (4.2 volts) don't have the same rules. A 3 cell is 12 volt, for fast RC cars.

.......I agree, learning history that interests you is much easier 😆 There doesn’t appear to be a Huma reg being utilized. You’d see it externally between the bottle and action as there isn’t a reg designed to fit in this action.
