What I really like about the tridob is way the the base ring, flex rocker and mirror box go together, and the low profile..... The design of the bits sounds tricky, especially the altitude bearings, but hopefully the cutting side of things will be something my friend can help me with...
As far as the upper end goes this is where I was wondering about the carbon fibre----but I'm still learning about what I need to consider when looking at upper end design. I also don't know how carbon fibre's rigidity-to-weight ratio compares to wood. My friend suggested we use it, when he thought it was a solid-tube design I was after, but then I started thinking about just the secondary/eyepiece cage....
I'm not sure what you mean by UC design...and I don't think I have the equipment or ability to cut, bend and weld steel...
Have you had any problems with the truss rigidity between secondary and primary?
