Any Hot Rod, in the 'Confines' is different galore to in the 'Confined' so that is why say Unikon say that a pad under the 'Landing Board' is within the confides of the loft! Not Confined within the loft. Simple that, whether one has a ET or not.

The RPRA rule states that the pads should be in the confines of the loft or trapping system, the above trap is perfectly legal, theres nothing stopping a bird flying out again after timing it through open doors. just seems like the anti ETS brigade wants something else to moan about, ETS is here and its here to stay.

fair enough, just get a bit fed up with people knocking this type of trap, i had it all last year and had to prove its legality.I completely

agree with you on different organisations and indiferent rules, they should all get together and sort out the same rules for the whole fancy

SHU Rule 11

 

ETS can only record the arrival time after the bird has entered the loft.

listen mate i race against a few guys in my club that use it i,ve never seen where their pads are and dont know if they have been checked by officials ,im not knocking it at all i just think that the pad should be behind bob wires or something  and checked and sealed in place to be fair on everybody thats all

Why don't you just ask if the officials have checked?

 

Rule 22 was deleted this year

Sensor pads to be numbered & sealed in position.

No so quick, if I was outside the loft and saw the birds sittin inside the trap then they're in the loft as I see it. ;)

16 lofts in our club all fly to allotments except 1who in their right mind  is going to seal their pads into the traps? thieves would be clapping their hands

 

Think that was why the rule was deleted.

SHU Rule 11

When read in conjunction with SHU Rule 4 - Electronic Timing Systems must be fitted within the loft and Rule 22 - Sensor pads to be numbered & sealed in position, it's clear that the pad must be inside the loft.

 

Most of my club's members have fitted bobwires before the pad. So its bob wires, loft front wall, pad.

 

Can't visualise how the combi trap is fitted to the loft front. Is it landing board, loft outside wall, then pad? If so, OK. But if its landing board, pad, bobwires, loft front wall, then its not.

I would probably agree with you regarding the positioning of the bob wires, but the RPRA rules say that they dont have to be, regarding sealing pads why should they be sealed? do you seal your T3 into your shed? fanciers can run all aroud the garden with a T3 strapped to them and nobody complains about that, why dont people just accept when the birds are home they home, ETS dosnt make the birds any faster. If some people had there way we would still be running to the corner shop with the rubber.

ITS NOT A DISPUTE EITHER YOU WANT TO BUY THE TRAP OR NOT THE PERSON WHO IS GETTING THEM MADE IS TRYING TO SAVE US MONEY AND YOU GET A BETTER MADE TRAP HE IS GETTING NOTHING OUT OF IT SO STOP BLEATING ABOUT IT DO YOU WANT ONE OR NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the trap once fitted to the loft becomes part of the loft so a pad under landing board would be ok ??what do you guys think

 

oh happy days daffy duck

 

U CAN`T PUT A PAD UNDER THE LANDING BOARD IT`S IN THE RULES MATE

i will argue about something if i know im RIGHT but i dont fall out ,i,ve had loads with my wee pal frankdooman we agree to disagree sometimes, but deep down he knows im always right lol

 

hate to admit it but your right (AGAIN)

Think that was why the rule was deleted.

 

So are you saying that there are shu fanciers with the pads not sealed in pos. nadoos??

Personally I agree with you 100%. Had birds land on landing board, piddle about and fly off onto the roof etc. ... But that is now legal if you have a et. Plus 17 seconds advantage. The rules state so. Like they say, it's here, get use to it.
