Excellent Rolf, thanks for the weight information. My build has started as well. Spent up on a router and some 17mm ply. Routers make a hell of a mess !! I'm placing my mirror inside the truss frame rather than hang it off the back as you have. No welding to the centre cage. Instead a ply diaphragm/baffle brace will make it all rigid and as it will be also visual possibly a rotating UTA assembly so the focusser can be accessible. Spent very little other than the router ( useful anyway ), the ply and some aluminium square and strip. I have picked up a lot of useful stuff from work after they had a big chuckout. Photos will come when there is more to see.
