TRANSPORTING 16"GSO & Light Bridge Dobs

Forgive my persistance:
Can any 16" GSO owners give some measurments? Comment on transporting the scope to dark skies or anything?

Any Lightbridge owners overcome the problem of ballance, braking & all the other negatives when compared to the better design of the GSO.

Would the mirror be ok transporting the GSO UTA inside a padded contatiner amoung the rest of the grear in a trailer. When transporting the mirror in its UTA on the back of a trailer, should it only be down in the horrizontal position? Does the GSO Truss only slide up & down, making this method of transport top-heavy?

Any Owners out there actually transporting these scopes to other sites, other than thier back yards. Comments greatly appreciated as there is really no information specific to this topic on the net.

Thankyou
Dave
