After buying a secondhand Impy with I-Frame I wanted to have a quick fiddle *insert own joke here* as you do. But because of the lack of manual I left it be as I don't want to mess up the setup. I want to know if anybody has a manual you could email/fax me for things like trigger adjustment and other things that I can bugger up on it.

right...

there are three points of adjustment mate:
in the trigger, below the chipboard in the tray and in the part where the battery is kept on the underside.

trigger=post travel
tray under chipboard= spring weight
battery compartment=pre travel

this thing is really adjustbale but i recommend that you have low spring tension, slight pre travel and a bit more post travel... thids is the set up i got when i got i back from SP and it absolutely rocks...we are talking effortless strings here (last time i used it i outshot my halo b twice)

have fun!;)

no you don't see what i mean!

Those two screws above the stickies don't do anything to alter the trigger afaik... I think that the screw is underneath the chip board actually inside the tray in the central area...I might be wrong but i am pretty sure that this is where it is mate....

robin is correct (for once), i have had that i-frame apart a few times, the screw in the trigger itself works in a similar way to screw in a blade trigger, it controls how far the trigger moves post-activation.

the one in the top of the trigger, this is actually inside the frame under the board controls the tension of the spring, so you gat a choice, a hard, snappy return OR a soft, somewhat limp return... if you're feelin adventuous, you could achieve some thin in the middle.

finally the 'other' screw, this controls where the trigger starts in rellation to the point of activation, you can set it so that the trigger virtually sits on the point of activation, so that a mere breeze could make you shoot (i suggest a wee bit more ater travel if you chose this option) or you can have a little travel before the trigger activates the switch (you can get away with less after travel here)

and all that from a guy who doesn't even own one! .....does that make e a techie then?

Yes, you have to remove the frame to get at the the spring tension adjustment (with mine, you have to remove the board as well, but maybe that depends on what board you have.)

If you don't have a screw in the trigger itself (about half way down the trigger) then the post-travel screw is next to the spring tension screw inside the frame - the post travel is the rear screw and the spring tension is the front screw in the little insert over the trigger. Hope that makes sense.

Yeah that makes sense, and I think that is how it is as I don't remember seeing a screw in the trigger. Seems a little bit of a pain in the arse to do but never mind. Hope I don't have to remove the board though, it a fairly new cricket board 2002 i think, it has the push button, pretty blue light and tweets at you when theres no ball chambered.

It did seem a bit of a design oversight that you have to remove the board to get at the screw, but I've got an old orange/green light board, so the cricket may not have this problem.

And yes, it's a bit of a hassle, but you only have to do it once! I found that pre-travel is the most critical one, which luckily can be adjusted with the frame on the gun; post-travel is nice to get short but not as important to get a fast as f**k trigger :)
