Rolf (SkyViking) is building a 12" to go on his EQ6 but the mirror is a conical and he is using his magnificent Serrurier truss design. My 10" is built similarly and it saves a heap of weight. Fully loaded mine comes in at about 18kg but with careful design could have come in lighter still. It also balances rather well, no added weights necessary.
