[QUOTE="s-band, post: 1019865, member: 407744"] I put it together with the arms shown above (about 1.1m long) and it became something of a monstrosity. To quote a forum member "It looks like something from a kids sci-fi comic of the 1960's". [ATTACH]108383[/ATTACH] So, I chopped the arms down to about 750mm and it doesn't look quite as silly. [ATTACH]108384[/ATTACH] It balances well about the polar axis such that it will stay where it is put without the jack fitted. The inclined drive has to do a bit more work though but it's OK. [ATTACH]108382[/ATTACH] Not so much 60s Sci-fi, more steampunk, especially with a shiny copper feed and rats's nest LNA. I've taken it all apart now in preparation for a more permanent installation. I need to shim a couple of joints to stop the polar axis support flopping around. [/QUOTE]
