paddymac Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 ]Not according to the RPRA Rule book.241. The positioning of the ETS sensors/antennae will not be allowed on any landingboards or other external surfaces in such away that when the loft is closed no electronicchip ring may be recorded by the ElectronicTiming System installed. Club Officials maymake random checks at any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillstreetblues48 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Is it true that when the ets pads are positioned they are then sealed so the can't be moved???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddymac Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 I know there were talk about this at the beginning and introduction of ETS systems but don't think it was ever followed up. In the continent they have their ETS pads placed outside lofts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King billy 2 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Is it true that when the ets pads are positioned they are then sealed so the can't be moved????Yes that's wots ment to happen but if your loft is on an allotment you take the chance of lossing it that's why it gets took home & nobody is going to check it every week it's getting out of hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian McKay Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Yes that's wots ment to happen but if your loft is on an allotment you take the chance of lossing it that's why it gets took home & nobody is going to check it every week it's getting out of hand If you enforce by ruling Pads MUST be sealed in you (the ruling body)would need to carry insurance if it got nicked or face the challenge ETS owners are being victimised by these enforced rules If I own an STB or other manual clock I do not have to have a captive bird to clock and no questions are asked, which has been the normal practice for my 40+yrs in the sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebull Posted October 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 anyway i will get some pics of my loft up in the morning just went check on them as the young cock bin getting picked on was dead was fine few hours ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDROCKET Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Think it would be a benefit to all if the ets rule stated that the ets system should be attached to the loft wether inside or out then we are all playing to the same rules with the same benefits then there's no doubts.imo ps ours are on the floors of the lofts will stick a pic up on Sunday.

Rebus Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 The measurements are taken at the front of the loft, so if the pigeon lands on the front of the loft it has flown the distance of the race so how it is timed shouldn't matter.

davebull Posted November 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 id just fit a sputnic trap over that hole m8 with your ets pad on the floor of the sputnic sortedi was thinking of cutting tow trap doors holes level with the shelf/landing board and making 2 traps that will attach to the inside of loft and having a pulley sliding hatch sort of things all so will be making a frame with mesh round that i can place on the shelf on the front of the right or left trapdoor for training young and for letting stock birds out in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
