[QUOTE="Topper, post: 511790, member: 186250"] Cannot really help you with all this theory guff, a dish is only as good as its mounting, you can have the best dish in the world and if the mounting is crap the dish will blow away. However, common sense also says that the greater the dish diameter the greater the area of resistance hence the greater the force applied to the mounting for a given wind speed. The most sensible and appropriate action when high winds are forecast is to park the dish at right angles with the dish edge facing the oncoming wind as opposed to the full dish diameter. As to someone actually having figures regarding this well after all this is a hobbyist forum but someone may have them lying around. [/QUOTE]
