I recieved my Blue angel Speed on Saturday and after searching this forum for speed info, I started to charge her up.

I had a tournament to attend on the Sunday and I was a little apprehensive (sp) about using it because I was under the impression that certain parts needed to be broken in.

So anyway I borrowed my friends impy to use. The day of the tourney I chrony'd in and found that I had unreal drop off from my friends gun. I played the first 2 games with guns from other teams. My team was rather pissed at me because I had to rely on other teams for a gun. It was finally suggested that I hook up my speed (still charging from the previous day, about 15 hours). So I put on my 45/45 Max Flow, borrowed a warped sports "Shank" volumizer and threw on a 12 volt revy.

I had just enough time to chrony in and get on the field. I was worried because I didn't do a sensi calibration, nor did I check for paint/barrel match. I was running under out of the box settings.

During this tourny I didn't break/chop a single ball, had no drop off what so ever, and was +/- 2 at the chony.

This is the best damn gun I have ever shot. Thank God I had no problems.

I wanted to thank this forum for all of the info I found. It helped me have a great day, and helped me learn a lot about my first angel.

why did you put a volumizer on it before you had ever used it? because the LPR is usually set too low?

I didn't know about the low LPR... but my maxy is low pressure and I can only get it up to around 300psi.

I feel kind of dumb now tho... because it was my first angel, I was unaware that I could back out the mini reg screw and use just the maxy for velocity adjustments.

I'll keep it the way it is tho... It shoots great, still no problems, and now its been about 4 cases of paint.
