Daystate THE DAYSTATE PROGRAMMER-LET'S TALK ABOUT (PROPERLY) PROGRAMMING THE REDWOLF

[Spray1Mark]

WOW really like that Dave, especially the colour!

The REGMAN is the more traditional but much bulkier unit, like the the one Joe sells.

Both will make the job much easier!

I don't understand why regulators are so expensive? The reg for my tig welder was 79 dollars. And its adjustable?? Don't get it. What makes it this much money?

I am not really sure, I looked at the 5 regulators I have in my shop, mig, oxy acetylene and Co2. Just not confident they will handle 4500 psi . Figured I'd go the safe route with a regular made for high pressure.

 

[Spray1Mark]

Yes the low pressure regs seem to be very low cost VS high pressure regs, they also seem to be much lower quality in construction than the HP regs, you have to see the quality to appreciate them.

I suspect also that LP welding regs are sold in huge volumes VS HP regs which are very specialist.

 

[nomojo65]

Which do owners prefer heliboard or Daystate programmer?, I assume once you add the heliboard you void the warranty?

 

[Spray1Mark]

Correct nomojo65, there were instances of users fitting the HB, breaking the internals, re-fitting the factory board and claiming uder the warranty.

This was of course because they were over-driving the gun, pointless again because the HP REDWOLF's are capable of driving pellets at their best accuraccy envelope velocity in standard form.

Different of course if you want to launch super heavy slugs at very high velocities which seems to be all the craze currently.

VS the GCU1, the HB had lots of advantages, especially of course if you couldn't get hold of a factory programmer, but the GCU2 IMO has caught up, except for the 12 VS 3 power curves.

A HB would probably become much less attractive if you had multiple REDWOLF's as you can cover all your guns with one programmer.

Alternatively you only need use the trigger to program the HB and not remove the stock, but a lot of numerical changes can be slow, having said that quite a few HB users find the standard HB settings to not need any tweeking.

 

[nomojo65]

Good points, I have the GCU-2 board, and power isn’t the problem, it’s actually that I would prefer to tone down one or two power levels to give me a broader spectrum to shoot lighter weight pellets or even slugs? This is my third RW 1- GCU-1 .22, second, GCU-2 .177, last one, .22 GCU-2 (sold the first 2 like a dummy!)

 

[Spray1Mark]

Yes agreed, IMO the .22 HP/SAFARI RW should have a curve dedicated to shooting the 18g pellets from the factory, but even the low power curve is still too fast for the 18's.

Only way you get that is if you buy the STD RW with the 17.5" barrel at 35FPE, but then you are completely limited to the 18g or 15g pellets.

 

[Spray1Mark]

Or you buy a programmer (or HB).

 

[nomojo65]

My thought exactly! Programmer…

 

[trlrman]

if I could get 2 more of the leads I would be set up .

I do not have a Redwolf yet but still find this very informative. Thanks for all the work.

A request, can you put a link in this thread to the latest iteration of your programming sheet. I am referring to the sheet for capturing factory settings as baseline and future tuning work.

Again, thank you for the work you have done on this. This type of information will help solidify my decision on purchasing a Redwolf.

Excellent thread mark, very informative ! I will be following this with great interest.



Cheers.

With the programmer can I get 50 grain pellets past 840fps

 

[trlrman]

I guess I am doing something wrong ? After pluging in what I thought were good numbers filled to 250 and shot . First 10 or so shots looked great then started losing velocity ? The low pressure warning was on at 226 bar ? Ran out of daylight will try agian .

 

[Spray1Mark]

Hi trlman, what numbers did you use, can you show them?

Did you start at the lowest pressure and work up?

 

[Spray1Mark]

With the programmer can I get 50 grain pellets past 840fps

With a .30 SAFARI wWilliam? did you see my shot string earlier in the thread?

 

[trlrman]

I did not think to take a pic. to bring with me .

This may help explain some of it further for you all!
