Me either. I did try 2000 psi once, but it was before I had Sergey's board and I could not run enough voltage to get the valve fully open | ||||||

Eyes bugging out Emoticon!! WOW. I would guess 18+ voltage. Like to see a video of that. | ||||||

Thanks for the info Sergey, it was more because the silicone wire is more flexible and would fit between the solenoid and housing better.
I'm going to make a set of weaver rails today, need a laser mount and it would be obstructing the RD scope a bit on top. | ||||

The peak current in the coil is 8-20 Amps so the losses in the 17AWG wires are negligible, noo need for "cool" silicon wires.

Holy poop!
How much can the valve take? Actually, does anyone know what the solenoid draws? I'd like to change the wires to good quality silicone. Had the 'bird apart last night, pretty simple... All ready for santa's arrival with the pretty new board ^_^ | ||||

News from Vladimir living in Minnessota.
He's shooting 1150 FPS at 2000 PSI. He's not a member of this board, for more details call him directly: 612-363-53-56. | ||||

The only problem I have with that is if your batteries are medium charged or lower, freezing won't hurt them much but if they are fully charged...
I'm not exactly sure how it works but I have heard that it breaks up the matrix, after the internal structure is broken up it won't hold nearly as much charge. I got a lithium Mikita (only 3Ah), I have to be pretty careful not to forget it out in the shop. | ||||

Well if you need to invest in tools deeper, anyway, you should seriously consider converting all your cordless power tools over to r/c lipos, like Camracer is doing, now. It's well worth doing, you can't really appreciate how bad nickel based rechargable batteries suck ass, or how much time (which is money) you are wasting on them, until you start using lithium batteries. If you use those tools to make a living like you do, you won't have any regrets, save for the "why didn't I do this sooner?" one. You can relegate charging your batteries to sunday afternoon, at your leisure, and never have to bother with bringing your stupid pack charger to, and finding some way to set it up on your jobsite, ever again. And you will deffinately appreciate how much lighter the tools are, with those, too. not to mention how much stronger they run. My "18v" (well, the pack says 21 point something or other) runs circles around the 24v ones that all the real carpenters say that they have to have.

Well, I had a Smithy midas 1220 something, a combo lathe/mill but it was pretty weak...
Poor accuracy, pain in the butt to change feed speeds, gearing etc. I decided the market was too volatile for MY money so decent tools are best investment in my book. I am a carpenter (usually log homes) so I only get paid when the house is finished. Subtrades are getting to be a PITA though so I think standard framing might be for me, it's SO simple... I'll be sure to post some pics, I have read just about every page of the drozd mods that I can find. I'm learning how to cast aluminum right now (lost foam), just spent the last couple of days refining old engine blocks into ingots so there are other things on my plate as well. (I need to figure out how to deal with porosity) The blackbird in the mail is putting pressure on my to do list though I have been putting a lot of effort into getting every tool that I need set up (like milling a 4-jaw chuck to fit a 3 bolt rotary table) but I need more tax deductible tools to get down to the next tax bracket before the 1st... I'm thinking a 3 axis dro for the mill and a 2 for the lathe might be good. I figured with all of the "thinkers" on this forum you would be loaded right up on tools like this ^_^ I'll go ahead and send Sergey (sorry I spelled it wrong before man...), I figured he had enough on his plate but it sounds like he is dealing with it well. Thanks for the welcome fellas, glad to be back -Auto | ||||

Hello AUTO_XX. Go ahead and order Sergey's circuit board. You'll end up swapping the original out soon after you get your gun anyway!! Drozdandconfused used a mill to cut out the holes for the buttons and LED counter. It came out perfect. Give it a go, and post some photos on this thread when you do! ---Cam

One paycheck per year? Sounds a lot like growing pot, if you asked me. Except factor in that when you finally harvest, everyone else does, too, and the market gets saturated and drives down your hard earned wage. And it is hard work, too.

I joined the site a long time ago but then my funds ran dry last spring and when I finally got paid (I get one paycheck a year) I couldn't seem to find a blackbird.
Now that I FINALLY have one ordered should I go ahead and contact Sergei or should I avoid bothering him until I get to know the blackbird a bit. I am a hobby machinist, vertical mill, 4' lathe, large mig welder, plasma cutter, etc. How hard is it to modify this gun? I'm under the impression that if I can throw the frame in a vise, it should be pretty easy to get the layout bang-on but I could be wrong. Thanks in advance for the info guys. -Auto | ||||

I had a whole collection of ornaments to shoot. I was cleaning out the garage and knocked the box off a stack of other boxes and onto the floor. It was a mess of colored glass!! I almost grabbed an airgun to finish off the few pieces that survived. I do still have my old blackberry and phone collection around somewhere, so all is not lost. I just need to get a video camera.
