Its just great to see a big manufacture do a concept vehicle which does look awesome btw regardless of practicalities and a bit of sensationalism :)

Well, I guess someone has to be the critic ...

[Hypercritic mode ON]

For a trailer that size (and that no doubt costs a pretty penny) I expected more than 16 inches of aperture.

It's Alt-Az, single arm. And is it even Az? Where's the Az drive? Gonna need an effing good Alt motor drive/gearbox and an outstanding rotator on the OTA.

Gonna vibrate like hell on the road on the end of that lever arm, and will need a fair bit of effort in collimation before use.

Where are the hydraulic/pneumatic legs? Surely it's not stable just on those tires? And if it's using manual legs, that's a lot of work (and I don't see anywhere to bolt them on - I don't think there are any).

Difficult to clamber into the trailer for cleaning, maintenance.

Since there's no room in the trailer for a human, then alignment, etc. will have to be only by camera (personally, I find that a pain in the arse).

And could they learn to spell PlaneWave? Planet Waves make musical accessories. Morons.

That is all very well my friend, but is it just a show pony? or dose it actually get used, :shrug: however if one/either makes it you will have to save hard and maybe trade in the house and the misses :scared3: :lol:
