Heliboard has arrived

[Mikelo123]

Well Guys and Gals here she is....

Not bad shipping time from Greece!! Came very well packaged and no external damage to the box etc.

Now I just gotta convince myself I am not gonna break a very expensive gun and install it!!

Anyone install one that can give me any advice or tips before I jump in?

Thanks All!

Redwolf model ?

 

[Mikelo123]

Correct...RedWolf HP .22

 

[Smok3y]

Let me know how it goes, or at least what not to do! Mine is stateside somewhere on its way to me too. Good luck!

I love the one I put on my airwolf extreme. Personally I dont know why daystate doesn't buy directly from him and put them on all the electronic guns. Keep us informed on your progress please. I hope it works for you as well as mine did

 

[FredAZ]

Just snap a photo of where all the wires go on the standard board so you remember.

No YouTube videos Mike? Keep us updated. Its not something I'm looking to do but I'm curious about the results.

The Heliboard is mandatory on all electronic daystates up till the Delta-Wolf comes out. Not only are they far superior to the programmer but you end up with a backup set of electronics.

 

[Mikelo123]

Have not been able to find any videos for the install...

I see some on tuning etc.

Jack sent some pics etc. but not sure on one section where he mentions removing a pin from a connector??

 

[Mikelo123]

Ok got it installed (for the most part)!!

Was not to difficult at all...take your time and having a small pick is handy to help loosen the connections for the trigger, pressure solenoid etc.

Last step tomorrow is to remove the red jumper wire from the 5 pin connector (required when installing the heliboard) and plug it into the new board and can power her on!!

Jack included a great write up for adjusting power etc. so going to see how she shoots across all power levels and go from there!

Next step is having the scope optically centered and mounted by a pro so I know it is exact and should be ready to practice my butt off and see about actually competing.

Now, if I will ever have the time needed to devote to it is the wildcard!!

Thanks all!!

I am curious to see if your results are similar to my NON HP 22 Daystate Pulsar with heliboard. I have yet to get one for one of my RWs but have the programmer that I have yet to use as well. Can you post shot velocities with 14.3 and 18.1gr from 1 to 11 or whatever the RW Heliboard goes up to? Appreciated!

 

[Arzrover]

Mike... I just installed a new one in my wife's last night. I used a very sharp pick to lift the little plastic lock on the connector enough to pull the wire. If you're gentle. It should come out easily.

Congratulations and good job on getting it installed !! You'll likely find there will be very little tuning needed if you're in the right pl. Jack has done a wonderful job designing and pre programming these.

[Mikelo123]

Thanks for the advice Bob!

Was not sure how to get that wire off and didn't want to do any damage!

Thanks!!

 

[Corvid_hunter]

Please post a review and your thoughts once you have had a chance to get it out for testing.

 

[Mikelo123]

Board is in and working!!

Have not done any testing as yet but hoping can get some shots in later today or tomorrow!!

Also got the new Kraford and Lypt butt piece installed:

Will keep you all posted on results!!

Thanks all for tips and advice!!

Can I ask what are the readings on that display?

I see the bottle pressure is 217 BAR.

What is 's7'?

The next reading (P1) looks like the Program number?

Then below is the voltage of your LIPO (c72.1v)?

What are the '2899' and the '8.13' readings?

Thanks for your help with this. Am seriously looking at this board and was just wondering about the details of the display.

 

[trlrman]

Where did you get the butt piece from and when did you order it ?

 

[Smok3y]

Mine just arrived today too! 10 days is all it took! I have had packages take longer than that staying in the US the last month or so.

@scratchcoobster - MMahoney from our boards has a really great YouTube video walking through the board and adjustments. You should check that out if you want to understand more. Most details I’ve seen anywhere.

@trlrman - Most of the big airgun shops you see here carry that K&L butt piece that you are asking about. It seems to be exempt from coupons by all them, and is in stock at most of them as well. Just pick the place you like ordering from in the banners at the top of the page. I have been considering buying one a few times and have looked them up and found them at most of the places that support AGN.

I see your RW was the non GCU2.0 version. The numbers are for board voltage (72), battery voltage (8.3), power level (P1), pressure (217 bar), pulse width in microseconds (2899) and step number within the power level (s7). Each power level of 12 has 20 programmable steps plus board voltage within each level. 

 

[Arzrover]

The 72.1 is the capacitor voltage that drives the solenoid. The 8.3 is the battery voltage. The 2899 is the time duration of the pulse in microseconds. There are some different display options in the menu.

Mikelo123... it would appear you have a standard board or you need to charge the battery. The HP board runs from 81 to 96 v and the battery is 11.1 but will read 12.4 fully charged. I ruined a battery by forgetting to turn mine off. Once the cell voltage drops below a certain point, it won't allow you to recharge.
