Garycarrot, why don't you have a word to the lovely guys at Planet where you are getting your Eclipse Cocker from? I am sure they would only be too happy to help, and may even set it up for you. You may have to ask very very nicely though 
Cockers and Angel A.I.R.?
- Thread starter garycarrot
- Start date
The latest AIRs - those with the little dome on the front face of the reg - are capable of being setup for lower pressure usage.
You shouldn't need to do this though, since, as everybody has said, your front reg drops the AIR output to the working pressure of your cocker. The ability for the latest AIRs to operate at low pressure only become important if you don't use a second reg.
Personally, I like to set my AIR to 700 for my Racegun, it helps ensure that there's enough air flowing during rapid fire.
As for the batteries going flat, did any of you have silver (ie. polished aluminium) AIRs by any chance? There was a problem discovered with these where the batteries were shorting out thus draining very quickly & WDP produced a shield to stop this occuring. As a note, I've got an AIR that was one of the first out - and I mean first, WDP had us finish building them on the tech course - and it's still using the same battery.

Bare faced cheek!!!!!!!
Gary, and you had the cheek to chastise me for me random buying and selling of markers!!
I knew you could not resist the 'Dark Side' for long you must have been more impressed than usual of my high accuracy shooting display on Sunday!!!!!!
So whats that in the last 3 months
Blue Angel (sold)
Blue Impulse (still around for now, but I can smell another thread in the classifieds coming real soon)
Green LCD Angel (is this going to be traded in to satify your Cocker need?)
Why dont you just trade the Angel AIR for a Geddon system or something similar? I'm sure some Angel nut out there would take it off your hands.
See ya at the weeknd Loverboy!!!

Thanks for your help guys.
Yes i will ask for the gun to be set up, when and wife permitting.
Only other question is... Which cocker?
I have tried a evo+racegun, and a Eclipse+E blade. Liked the Eclipse better, any others i could consider? Getting a second hand cocker, and putting on a electro grip could be an option, but dont know enough about cockers to know which ones are the best. ANYONE HELP? thanks.. Gary

I have just bought an Eclipse Cocker with an Angel AIR....
and its fantastic
I use the AIR running at about 490ish as input (as advised by the printed sheet I got with the Cocker) it appears to be very consistent from the box I ran a string of shots off the day I got it with a +/- 4 FPS difference. That has slipped a bit now and I seem to have a bit of a problem adjusting the velocity BUT that may have been something to do with the crap paint I was using last time....
Apart from that I luuurve my marker and AIR system although it could do with being a bit quicker but I am sure an E-Blade will sort that out
HTH

I've got the A.I.R on my cocker set to around 310, and it works great. The only problem is that when the bottle is shot until empty, the reg creeps up to 850+(When I get it filled it leaks out of the side). As soon as I adjust the out put back down to normal parameters, it's fine.
