Ok thanks. Good info to share.

I will try the higher settings just to see what happens though. There actually might be a sweet spot that will allow me to loosen the clutch.

That's what I was thinking. Same with the motor speed, as you well know.

BTW, I had an issue with my homemade latch plate, like you had. I had to grind a bit of plastic on my first Drozd to make it fit perfect.
All this talk about banning guns because they are killing people....We should just make murder illegal and people will stop getting killed.

In this third part I do some fooling around with the pulse, but not much. I will do more when I go back up to 4K. I really want to leave no stone unturned so I jumped back down to 3K for more testing with the 4K RPM motor, and the 18.5 V battery pack.

I finally got around to ordering some N42 diametrically polarized 1/8" X 1/4" magnets for TBK's auger. I ordered seven of them so I can almost span the entire length just to see what happens.

I received the magnets yesterday, and filled up the auger. I tried it with the 10K motor with an 18.5V pack. I only tried it with the plate out of the mag, and it didn't feed properly.

I was just thinking some more about how I can use my stock with the MSC in it. Since I have it wired directly to the board I can try decreasing the voltage, and upping the pulse. That will at least give me some range to play with. I haven't been feeling too good lately because all of the pollen in the air so I haven't felt like doing mush testing lately. That reminds me. Hey Fred. I can ship you a garbage bag full of pollen, and a jug of mosquito larvae if you want.
