GA Testing Group/RALETC LIDAR Testing - 11/9

I really wish I could of come down for this meet. It looks like fun was had by all. Thank you for posting the results. After this meet and the last RALETC meet I have decided to make some steel brackets for my front install. The back is what it is. I can't really do anything but use tape to make the rear heads level. I started scoping it all today. I have not checked my heads with a level since the last meet and they were off today due to the fact that plastic has give to it. It's very clear that alignment is a great deal of the battle with the SX.

This sounds like a bad idea for mountainous regions. Nothing like jammers pointed int he sky or at the ground. Even in less extreme terrain this could quickly become problematic. What we really want is heads that self aim towards the threat :)

Yup good luck with that. Active tracking, the heads would need multiple tiny sensors to sense the signal source and two motors to rotate on the axises.

Lol, yeah I realize it's not going to happen. Just pointing out how self leveling heads could be very bad :)
