My sentiments exactly Gary. Structurally speaking, those 3 screws being the only thing stopping the OTA from hitting the deck is quite frankly, a crap idea.
In certain positions with the EQ mount, all the stress is on 2 screws rather than 3 & not to mention the stress on the front & rear 'cells'. I've been using safety straps just in case one screw (or more) decides to give up the ghost. Yet another DIY project in the near future for me
Being able to rotate the OTA in rings to get the finder in a better position at times would be a big bonus as well..
