[PSUBS-MAILIST] new Gamma pictures

James,
The ribs are for strengthening the dish.  The hatch is quite light, mind you it is only 18in dia.

Hank, 
That would be good actually thanks.  Im probably going to make a new hatch soon enough.  Ive got a spare dish.    What are the ribs doing that are underneath the black locking bars?  Are they strengtheners for the dish?  or part of the latch mechanism?  or a bit of both maybe? 
Regards 
James

How did you figure out how long each arm should be, size rams, claw construction, what will be the lifting capacity of the arm fully extended? did you make a VBT up forward to keep the sub trimmed while picking up a load? What are the arms made of? any construction pictures of it while you went?
