Good thoughts and ideas guy's, there is a lot to think about. I like the sling
idea because to me it is more supportive when the scope is pointed towards
the horizon. The velcro idea as Mark has explained it also has me thinking.
Maybe make the tailgate like a trap door then I could access it and do the
3mm plywood lever job, if and when I need to remove the mirror.
I'm in the design stage for my 16" dob. Just at the drawing up plans stage
along with reading Kriege and Berry's book A Practical Manual For Building....
I must say it's quite an uplifting experience, even at this stage. So it's good
I think to hear more approaches and ideas, for me anyways. I'll forgo the
airbag idea although I think it would be something to see in action, so my
air mattress is safe for now lol
regards,CS
