That's not the issue being referred to, and this isn't a flaw, it's a consequence of making a lightweight mount where the scope is positioned on the inside for better stability. I used to own a Skytee 2 - it's very heavy and really a different proposition from lightweight mounts like the AZ5 or Skyview.
