Well the first time out the cable wound around the hub rather than the unit "passing" along. The dam thing pulled the anchor point out of the cement and I got in a terrible mess.
AND being able to move in and out of the shed and not effect its progress is very practical really when you are putting things away.. as you can move in and out of it with out a problem.

My neighbour looked at it and joined the ranks who think I am a fool ..but a majority is a majority even with the addition of another voter.

The roll off shed has many advantages the only disadvantage being its easy movement (for a fella with a hernia) but the motor takes care of that, you have a snug control room without a scope in the middle and you dont have to worry of moving a dome to follow an object.

The cost was very reasonable even with the flash motor...far less than a dome.. an it when closed does not telegraph to the world it may contains expensive gear.
I see it as a great solution for suburbia not withstanding I am in the bush (up there).
