Anyway...
The good news is I've ordered a Moonlite CR2 from Ron Newman in the U.S who couldn't have been more helpful.
Sure, it costs a little more than the $149 generic Crayford, but not that much more for quality and peace of mind.
Should be a great upgrade. Now, to get back in touch with Bird about installing this temp monitoring system!!!!!
And then there's flocking .... adding drive motors .....
