Yes they are quite big and no you cannot flex the panels (you are as they dreaming). These are very rigid, but quite light. You need all the panels on the mount to maintain stability and pointing accuracy. The casing is actually the structure that holds the mount together. Each panel is joined to the next by a lot of screws. Genius in the design.
Are you sure they had a Newtonian on the mount. Michael said something about putting an RC on the mount.
Great mounts.
