Hello all,
My recently completed 5.3 metre dome went for a ride on a freak gust of wind yesterday. It soared 30 metres and from the marks on the trees and ground it looks like it flew about 20 m then rolled, tilted and landed flat on our driveway. Totalled - bent, welds broken, sheets mangled, way out of round. Miraculously the scope and all the contents were entirely untouched. The securing of the dome is very strong. It's just that I forgot to do it. There is a lesson here somewhere....... 300kg of wreck sitting 30m from its home. ah well, back to the drawing board.....
