You can mess with the flow adjustment and drop it down to where the hopper can keep up, I have mine set at ~19 on my P/C with EggII Z/Board. But with the Halo I can get around ~22....

^ I went to a hobby store to pick up some paint. 5 small bottles for $2.50 a piece. I used more then half of each of them but have some left over if it needs touch-ups. Enamel paint made by Model Master: Flat Black, European Gray, Armor Sand, Green Zinc Chromate, and Medium Field Green. They went on in that order. I sponged the black and gray, then paintbrushed the others. For the tank, drop forward, and part of the hopper I sponged instead of brushed the loam and green. I paintbrushed the gas fittings. Finally I put some layers of Miniwax Polycrylic in dull Clear Satin to protect it. My intention was to have the black and gray as a backround for shadow effect, then the green and brown forground to match all the light leafy vegitation in Florida.

What i did with my r5 is took the lid from the stock one (slightly smaller diameter) and put it on the R5. The R5 lid pops open because 1). its a blowblack(sure you knew that) and 2). The r5 doesnt a a lid lip area(the lip cant grasp to well).Ore you can drill some holes in the cyclone so air can vent instead of going into the hopper..

I dont get it...

I have an RT but it doesnt shoot nearly that fast...

Maybe I have it configured wrong.  Ive had my 98C for a long time but I just recently got an A-5. I installed the RT myself because it was cheaper. All the fittings are sound with no leaks and it does work like its supposed to...I guess.

It does reset my trigger for the next shot but it looks to me that you can get yours shooting a lot faster then mine... Any suggestions on how to get your RT tuned just right?

Guy's it's a super RT. Meaning it has a fatter hose(same type they use with the LP kit) than a standard RT so it can reset faster and harder, giving insane ROF. Maybe I'm behind in the times, but isn't it usually cheaper to get an A-5 w/RT installed rather than buy one and install it yourself? To get your RT to sweet-spot, try turning the adjust,ment screw all the way in(clockwise) then backing it out like a quarter turn. If it's all the way in it should be very difficult to shoot, out a little more and it is pretty easy to bounce the trigger. The further you turn it out, the higher your ROF will be, but it will be harder to sustain it. Find the right balance.

I got my RT in a deal over Ebay...thats why it was cheaper.

Not because I bought it retail.
