Just installed the LP fittings and lines after work today. It was dark already so this is the best I could do with the video. The RT hard to sustain and it flips the lid open on my hopper when I shoot! I will get a better video up soon when I properly tune the velocity/pressure/RVA/RT flow control, over a chrono. http://media.putfile.com/MOV0043257 - http://media.putfile.com/MOV0043257 Short one: http://media.putfile.com/MOV0043388 - http://media.putfile.com/MOV0043388 ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

After Tig's mods - http://media.putfile.com/MOV0043536 - http://media.putfile.com/MOV0043536 The second half it slows down a bit, I'm not sure why. The trigger return spring is out. I replaced the sear spring with the stock one that Tippmann sent me. They looked the same and about the same tension. The original is brass colored and the stock one is black. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

When I come home over my lunch break I'll try to get a day time video. I'm going to bring home a fat rubber band also to keep my hopper shut! Slows down reloads but I won't spill a hopper. Now I shoot it open! I'll try with the stock one ond see if it pops also ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

How fast are you shooting? Im interested to know because I have heard of alot of feeding problems with the cyclone when you go over 17bps without the QEV mod... I can get ~22 with my Super R/T and I know the Cyclone doeesnt cycle that fast. -------------

I'm not sure how fast yet. My cyclone is a popcorn maker. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

I'll elaborate. The cyclone doesn't break balls, it slams them toward the back of the hopper and skips shooting them. Sort of like throwing balloons into a fan. I have a big rubber band on my lid now. I don't know about the QEV I hear mixed reviews. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

The reason why it does that is because the cyclone is cycling so fast that the ball doesnt have time to drop into the chamber properly, so it just spins and spins like a blender until you stop shooting. -------------

Yes so what would a QEV do to fix that? Spinning faster isn't going to fix it. I need something to take up the volume of the hopper after the balls leave. Then I may get breaks though. I wonder how hard it would be to adapt a Q-loader? It would really clean up the top of the marker for sight. I am not crazy about those loaders though. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

I dont know the specifics of the QEV mod, check out http://pbownersgroup.com/forum - http://pbownersgroup.com/forum and look in the A-5 section and it tells all about it. Adapting a Q-Loader would most likely be relitivily easy, if you could machine a mounting bracket for it (or maybe find some place that sells them). The problem lies in the fact that the Qloader only holds 100rds, and in under 5 seconds you will shoot through a pod.... -------------

I'm not going to play with it that fast anyway, I think I will keep it how I have it for now. It would be nice to get rid of that blind spot from the hopper though. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

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. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

| 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? ------------- MajinKai |

| 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. ------------- MajinKai |
