No worries. I'm happy to send people plans, but - they just won't work if you have a scope of different specs, they have some mistakes to be corrected manually afterwards and they would take a
lot of explanation to understand them.
They would be more of a starting point for your own design.
It is nice to have a project to work on. If you just do it a bit at a time it's not too much hassle. The 16 inch tridob took me 12 mths, the 10 inch 3-pole dob about 6 weeks and the 22 inch about 3 months.
It is also very satisfying when you get the bugs worked out and can have the thrill of viewing the universe though something you have built yourself.
