Abstract
A system, apparatus and method for controlling the stoppage of a spinning wing of a migratory bird decoy. When power is turned off by a remote controller, a photo eye sensor system identifies when a motor shaft needs to stop spinning so that the dark side of a wing stops facing upward. When the motor shaft is in a correct location, a wing shaft control cylinder is engaged, which locks the motor shaft/wing in the correct position with the dark side (feather) up. When engaged, a pin from the cylinder goes into a motor gear housing, which stops and holds the wing shaft, and therefore the wing, in the correct position.
