Joking aside I,m impressed with this little fellah, certainly good value, It chatters a bit on slew wind up, even at modest slew rates. there is a smudge of backlash in RA, worm engagement I think, I'm looking forward to putting the 6" APO on its back.... These Gems are funny creatures crossing the meridian, Its the first Ive ever owned... I think I could get used to it...at least it doesnt take a team of horses and a hernia to move it,,A delight really...

Just a thought.
