Is a heliboard available for the Redwolf? If so what would be the advantages/disadvantages between the Daystate programmer and the heliboard?
Heliboard vs Daystate programmer?
- Thread starter Lewis
- Start date
I've already been in contact for the Heliboard. I need to remove my circuit board and take some measurements to see if it fits. If it checks out I'll be ordering one.
The board IIRC is around $250.00 with 12 power settings. The Daystate programmer IIRC is $400 and three programs that are all interlaced.

FWIW .. just received an AIRWOLF Helliboard in the last month .... AWESOMENESS !!!
If he can set you up with a Redwolf compliant board it will be far superior to the very limited OEM board programmer or not !

Hi Smitty. This is all new to me. Could you explain what interlaced means? Also if you get the Heliboard you can program the 12 power settings with no need for the Daystate hand held programmer. Is that correct?
Thanks Michael

Others have A LOT more experience with the Programming of the Red Wolf. As far as I can tell the stock Red Wolf board has only three programs as you know. High, Med and Low, each of these seems to be interlaced (this may be the wrong word) as they are a percentage of the High Power settings. From what I've read you adjust several factors to adjust each of the Power Levels. So they seem to be all interdependent.
As far as I can tell the Heliboard has 12 Power Levels and each of those levels have 20 points of reference for bottle PSI. There seems to only be a couple of adjustments that needs to be programmed on each power level, I believe they are bottle pressure and dwell (dwell - solenoid open). The ability to take my Red Wolf 22 HP from 50 FPE (possibly higher to the mechanical limit) down to 12 FPE is very appealing. I should have mine apart tomorrow and get the measurements that he sent. If it will fit, I'll be ordering one. Of course this may void the warranty, But at that point the only thing that might have an issue is the solenoid.

I can recommend the Heliboard 100% at least for an Air Wolf but have no experience with any programmer from Daystate.
IMHO 3 power settings is simply not enough to extract the full potential which the electronic Daystates have to offer because you
can set it to a lot of in-between power settings to suit your pellets better speed wise for more fine tuning tweaks where accuracy
is concerned.

Thanks Smitty. That’s a lot of power settings! Amazing what can be done. I would like to be able to adjust the power of my RedWolf and to do it without needing the Daystate programmer would be a bonus. I don’t know if I want to be scrolling through 12 settings or need that many. I simple version with say 5 settings would be what I’d choose if available.
I’ll be watching with interest.

Can't wait to see the results... I was going to buy a programmer for my RW, but will wait to see if the Heliboard works. **Bookmarked**

Is the board an install and shoot with factory equal performance or do you have to fine tune it for each individual gun?
ETA: If "install and shoot", what kind of spread is expected/accepted over a string?
TIA!

Yes, the Daystate programmer is expensive, but once a person figures out how to use it and how the system works - there are nearly an infinite number of power settings available.

The Heliboard has 12 power settings but, are they adjustable? Can you change the same parameters you can with the programmer or is it just more presets across a wider range?

Fully adjustable.

That is what I was looking for. Thank you.
If the Heliboard does in fact fit then would there be any advantage to the programmer other than the ability to use it on multiple guns? I would REALLY like to see a bluetooth interface that would let you program from a PC or phone.

Any new info on this?
I find the price of the Daystate programmer way overpriced, so if the Heliboard gives you even more options for nearly half the price...

Any news on if or when this Heliboard will be available? I am getting a red wolf tomorrow and want to be able to tune my rifle to the speed I wish to shoot Ect. It seems the programmer is out of stock everywhere including AOA and it's not known if or when it will become available again!!!! Not a good situation to be in as far as my way of thinking!! Build a tun-able gun then can't supply the product needed to tune it!! Not very customer friendly in my book! J.L.
