It would be helpful if one specified which post one was making the reference to.

@Trust1 , @a33 , @RimaNTSS , @Captain Jack, @cardiff , and others that have helped!

OK guys, do you object if I ask Laminas to view this thread and advise us direct?

Spread the words , no objections by me !!

 

[MCelliotG]

Be a little more considerate to fellow members, please, if you would be so kind, old chap!

Pardon, I don't understand your reply, I've been reading this thread for a long time and I got very excited with the brilliance, is that a bad thing? These modifications is not something you see every day and the outcome should be so interesting!

Sorry, I was being overly polite, just in case a member of the Laminas staff was already viewing.
Tell me to " Pi****f " and I´ll know what you mean!

@RimaNTSS , I would like your consent, BUT?

 

[RimaNTSS]

I would like your consent

I have no objections.
However, totally disagree that person should be polite only in some cases.

I was being overly polite, just in case

I think this must be always primary rule.

Ive just read the last 15 or so pages & WOW the work you have accomplished between you is most impressive. All those angles & numbers have made my head spin

 

[RimaNTSS]

There is drawing of AS-1800 (made by me, so might be not perfect). @Trust1 you have asked for some specific measurements to artificial point X.... you can find them there as well. Distance to point G is marked from the top of the antenna (as lower point of the WOD is covered by the feedarm).

@cardiff has already asked for info from Laminas, and has received a reply from them, hopefully giving an answer on Monday. ( At least Chris has advised that is when the technical department will look at the diagram he sent, taken from this thread ) I will not steal his thunder, and he has advised he will post the reply when he receives it.
I have also sent Chris at Laminas a message, with a link to this thread, so they can see why we want the information, in the hope they will be more helpful in their response.

We wait to see what info Cardiff gets back!

 

[Captain Jack]

@Trust1 - any progress?

@Trust1 - any progress?

All the main parts are ready , waiting for the response from the Laminas employe to stick them together in the proper way .
The CM changer for @WHATAGOAL1 1 is on his way by Post.nl
Keeping the package size under 1 mtr (no sidearms) and under 5 kg , they charge € 19.50 Tracktrace

I went to the same school as Isaac Newton.



We weren't in the same year, though.

He'd have loved all this.

You could post some pics, so we can all have a guess, and then Trust 1 can put us all right!

Just arrived home , was all day at/on the river



Did'nt expect you started right now .
In this post you could see your changer @WHATAGOAL1
The only difference is that in your package the M6 threaded rods to make the side arms longer , are covered with tubes , allready stick together with the bended angled INOX parts .

Dont be angry , but today by the lack of more data for the Lami , I made a CM changer with the Parabola calculations maybe @WHATAGOAL1 wants it .


As you can see , the sidearms must be extended with 200 mm long M6 inox rod .
I decided to use the TechniRotor pole clamp to attach the mainbeam onder the dish .
Its very stable and at that way more easy to lift or lower the beam wenn neccecary .
