The new RTI Assisted Valve (Video)

[orion]

Hi everyone,

I've been using the new assisted valve and here is a video on how to use it and what it can do.

I hope you will enjoy this one

Not sure I under stood right , You put the new valve in your gun to test , So this is the valve that the new Prophet II will be coming out with..

I'm right there with you. So will we be able to install it in a older Prophet. (Wow) if that true.

 

[orion]

I didn't install the valve on my P1, RTI did. They sent the P1 with the new valve installed for me to test. They had to do internal changes to my gun for it to work.

The new valve won't work on the P1 that's the reason they are coming with P2.

 

[Mrmetals]

So, in a sense, you were shooting a P2

 

[orion]

Kind of but not really, the new P2 will have a different breach, and few improvement like the cocking level amd some other stuff I don't remember, new barrel...

Mine is the P1 with some magic for the new valve, that's all.

The new breach will have a thicker back, I think the plenum will be covered.

looks real nice Orion so what kinda shot count did you get with that settings 70-80 shots per fill or more also oem compact bottle

Interesting... I own 3 RTI rifles. (Actually one is my wifes) 1 is the full size Prophet. The other 2 are compacts. The compact in 22 (wifes) the reg pressure will not go below a 100 bar.. with the hammer spring flush it still shoots 16gr pellets 900 fps. I would have liked it to be shooting 850-880 fps. (I can make it shoot in the 800's if the I have the hammer spring adjustment sticking out the back.. but I dont like that. Or I can remove the hammer weight)
Now my compact was originally a 25 that I put a 177 barrel kit on... again the reg will not go below 100 bar.. and I had to remove the hammer weight to slow it down to shoot 10.3gr pellets 880 fps that's about as slow as I can get it without cutting or changing the spring or using a heavier pellet.. even though both compacts are the Prophet 1... they shoot pretty hot and a bit finicky to tune 880 and below.. with the 25 barrel on and the hammer weight back in. Reg set to 120-130 bar it has no problem pushing 25.4gr pellets 880-900 fps. I'm definitely a fan of the RTI rifles.. my only gripe (and it's a small one) is the left hand cocking (I'm right handed) I dont mind the left hand cocking when I'm bench shooting but it's a bit cumbersome for me while hunting.. I'm getting use to it but it would be nice if it could be made to be left or right handed cocking...

Helps to shorten the hammer spring by a coil or two. Allows for a lower tune with a little free flight on the hammer and less air robbing hammer bounce. Quiets it a little bit too.

Shot count is about 90 shots, but that's with my gun, I think the P2 will get less shots, but I don't know if they did any final modification on the valve for better lower speeds, I'll ask.

The new valve has a new spring, way easier to cock the gun, it's a weaker spring. With the new valve the HST is not that important as it was before.

RTI told me the valve is the one that needs modification to get into the lower speeds, opening the hole a bit more, I'll follow up with them to see if they finally did something on the production version.

I had posted that for Jason since he wanted a lower tune. Thanks for keeping us up to date on the newer models features.

my compact with a power plenum installed shot 72 at 900 if i recall

 

[douger]

well they sure better have it figured out , think aoa takes delivery of first guns soon

But when you utilize the barrel swap like I do. (I understand most shooters probably don't) it would be nice not to have to cut springs and remove any hammer weights... less parts to keep track of or possibly loose... when hunting season comes it I swap back to the 25 barrel and I have to remember the hammer weight... ( atleast I remembered to write my settings and to add the weight back)

 

[Joedirt199]

Order up a shorter or lighter weight spring from mcmastercarr. Then you have a setup for each caliber. Easy enough swap on the RTI since the buttpad comes off and the spring is right there.

Update:
The Prophet 2 compact will have a bigger hole in the valve so it will allows for better experience on the low speed.

The non compact version is going to have a smaller hole than the compact so it is designed for faster speeds.

The valve is exactly the same, the only difference is the size of the hole.

Hola a todos desde España, estoy leyendo el foro y noto que el Prophet 2 aún no llega, les cuento mi experiencia desde hace un mes que lo tengo en mis manos.
Me deshice de mi viejo pcp para tener una plataforma nueva, robusta y sobre todo muy confiable, mi configuración actual es la siguiente, 110 bares de presión en el regulador, como explica Orion mientras aumentas la presión e. el regulador debe subir tensión en el martillo, lo justo para poder abrir la válvula, nada más, ¡así de sencillo!
¡Estoy disparando H&N Slugs 23 granos a 286 m/s con solo esa presión en el regulador con un conteo de más de 120 disparos!
El nuevo cañón que monta el nuevo P2 es una auténtica maravilla, le gusta todo aunque tengo la sensación de que es un amante de las babosas porque las dispara super bien.
Lo siento si hay algún error de escritura, gracias al traductor de Google .
Un saludo y paciencia para los que esperen una de estas joyas, merece la pena.

 

[douger]

so i see they did a duel tp on the barrel. Orion this way on your compact barrel also

Orion! Wonderful video on how to tune the new RTI valve! Boy, that valve is very efficient and has a broad range for flexibility! Nice work sir!
