[QUOTE="guest poster, post: 577972, member: 262401"] You can flex a 2.4 CM with you arm, especially on the top panel... that's not to say they are like a floppy fortec, there is a lot of design in the face and they flex back, but they are not 100% rigid.. they are plastic with bracing and do 'give'.. they would have to be solid concrete not to give in a very strong winds at that size.. the bigger the dish the more they have to take.. and they are not really made for dth .. as far as CM build quality - the face is good.. but I think the az/el is very poor. The crude threaded bar for the elevation and that daft azi fine adjuster... all rough dipped ... no bushes to take the slop on those holes. [/QUOTE]
