I have a tail on my Revolution and I also own a stand alone king critter from Lucky Duck. I can control the tail on the Revolution via hand held, but the king critter is turn on and walk away. I use them both at different times (stands), and think they work great. I may not even turn the tail on during certain stands, just depends on the situation. I am a believer, and it sure works better than the feather my father carried to tie to a piece of sage 50 years ago....
