Open Beta Testing (Jan 26 - ongoing)
Closed bolt engines are the pinnacle of accuracy, but are often complex, high cost mechanisms with pneumatically actuated nozzles, hurting your wallet, and your air efficiency.
The wyvern uses an electrically actuated nozzle, providing maximum mechanical simplicity. It uses our wireless FCU, providing the most features. It wastes no air, providing maximum air efficiency.

Open Beta Testing (Apr 2025 - Feb 2026)
To get the most out of your HPA engine, you need the best electronics! This version of the Catalyst uses Low Energy Wireless technology, and allows tuning from your smart phone.
We are adding more features than any other wireless fcu, but need your help testing it! For early access to this upcoming product, you can purchase a beta kit in my store!

The Phoenix (May 2023 - May 2024)
In May 2023, we launched the Backdraft Phoenix BETA, sparking a game-changing community collaboration.
Beta testers provided vital feedback and tested compatibility across hundreds of platforms, accelerating development and shaping BDI into the community-driven brand it is today.
