UTA rings are routed and UTA frame assembled. It's a lightweight design, just over 550 gms. I have a 2" focusser available. I have designed a lightweight mirror cell. The mirror is 37mm thick and weighs 2.45 kg ! So I am not too worried about complex support structures, I don't think it will move regardless. I just need a three point cell with good support security so it doesn't fall out.
Still require ply for the centre cage, this weekend to source and build then it's balance time to get strut lengths sorted.
I'll post some pix up shortly.
The secondary spider is my biggest concern. A 'Rolf' special with guitar machine heads and wires is preferred but I need to source the machine heads. I may build a simple 4 vane temporarily while I get it all going.
