Hi Everyone! I have been a fan of RU-vid for a long time. I found a lot of good information that has helped me in so many ways, it's the little tips and tricks that can make someone's day. So, I wanted to help others and spread my knowledge and experiences. Reach out to others to show my culture and daily events. We might not agree on everything, but we can all respect each other. Welcome to my RU-vid Family!
Do you know the weight of the two halves of the base when they are separated? I know combined it's 94lbs I just sold my C14 and looking for a replacement.
OK, that was tough! I'm not in a position to take the bad boy apart so, I had some high density 1" MDF with similar dimensions as the circle. My educated guess is each Circle (two in total) weighs ~30 lbs. The two uprights are ~10 lbs each. The motors are what is left over ~7 lbs per drive motor, to make 94 lbs.. Please don't quote me, these are just an educated guess.
I have one that is about a year old and it cranks and runs ok but the trimmer line constantly breaks. I have tried several different types of line (.095) but it will break after about 5 min of use. Just ordered a new replacement head, maybe it is the problem, also going to try some line form Stihl. Anyone else have constant line breaking problems ?
I run 0.080” line OEM so far. I have not thought about the amount of string I use. Now you put a bug in my ear so if I start thinking about that, I know where it came from.
Sounds good, better, less high pitch, Thanks. But really, people really don't like sitting through tons of footage nowadays. Quick and to the point is far better and you will get lots more views. People look at length of videos as not everyone has all day to watch a long video that could have been condensed to about half the time........
I have the 12" and they are relatively simple to set up and use. You will need to collimate it before using. Mine came with the hand controller as well as WiFi.
I found a collimating tool and got that done. Do you know where to get replacement thumb screws for the secondary mirror? Collimating with a swiss army type allen wrench set is a pain. My hand controller and the WiFi dongle were missing from my package. They sent me a new WiFi dongle, but I never did get the hand controller. The WiFi app works good, but I really should ask them about the hand controller.
THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!!! Got mine stuck in there when trying to tighten a spark plug. I had an oh sh*t moment when it happened and panicked. Thank God for RU-vid…
Do a 1 year (or 2) later follow up. Let people see how it held up. I'm just about to go get one. I'm not messing with the old junk this year edit: I just got an FS 56 at the hardware store down the road. It was $199. I thought that was pretty cheap (maybe too cheap, did they cut corners to get the price down?) It works really well out of the box with much more power than the Walmart 2 strokes.
I just tried this job. And failed. My troubleshooting ended at not finding the correct bult size for the idler pulley. # 3 from the tensioner. It fell out on the customer. Went to the junkyard and found one. But the bult was either too small or the insert was broken. I went back, and the guy said it's definitely the correct part, and it means that the hole is messed up. I thought there would be a broken piece of bolt in there. Nothing was in the hole. The bult slides in and dangled in there. 🤕🤧😂
@lotsofhobbies I failed. Couldn't find the part in time. Car was parked in a bad area. Would have gotten tickets waiting for the part to arrive. Still a learning experience.
@lotsofhobbies programing keys is fun. Ive had some models my tool doesn't support. Im going all engines ahead on that area of automotive services. There are far and few in my area. I just need $$$ for tools and exposure. Getting there will be an epic story one day 🏌🏾♂️🌌
I can tell he's very excited but I was scratching my head when he was going to put the boxes on the dolly with that car in the way. I wanted to shout at the screen go for the small boxes first and then you can lift the large box from the side that the car isn't on. But sometimes the obvious isn't so obvious LOL
I have a gen 2 crv and I’m considering this job. What did you do about the welded nut that broke off? Did you weld another one or replace with a nut? Thanks for posting.
changed it over and light did not go on, i forgot to turn it off and because there was no light on it got very hot! was lucky i checked it@@lotsofhobbies
loved your video, did find it funny in places, thought you were going to pop a kidney at one stage🤣🤣. this scope is bigger and looks heavier than i thought it would be, I think i will have a re-think with this monster. I know aperture is king but i think this dobs would do me in . great bang for your money though and i would really love this. I bet the views are great!. happy sky watching from the UK 😊
Yes, it is quite large. I made a wheeled base with three outriggers to level the scope, works beautifully. I have taken my setup time from and hour to about 15 minutes. After that, it is amazing how clear and large you can see with the human eye and the aid of a telescope. Jupiter and Saturn never disappoint. Saw my first nebula by accident trying to find the Pleiades. I bought a camera now, so hopefully pics will be coming soon. Clear Skies my friend! From the US.
@@lotsofhobbies good to hear you're enjoying it 😊. You can't beat a dob for viewing when it comes to aperture v cost. I used to have a c11 which was great but I still wanted a big dob. pleiades is a beautiful cluster... Funny how we are drawn to it when we look up 🤗. Have you looked to the east at the beehive cluster in Gemini on low power lens?, that's a real treat. When you get your camera you'll have to capture the Andromeda galaxy. Happy sky watching 😊
Having a blast! The setup is now becoming efficient. 15 minutes and I can be up and running, pointing at a target and electronically pretty close. I will post pics as soon as I get the camera stuff figure out. The pleiades were a joy to find. just looking at that part of the sky, you don't notice it, but with the extra light from this 14", the group and neighboring stars are like a crisp bold font (for lack of a better term). I can't wait to see the Andromeda Galaxy like you say. :D
Hi there! We have been raising chickens for the same as you. Great hobby, and lifestyle. Their personalities are entertaining. What kinds do you raise? Thank you for subscribing!
@@lotsofhobbies It has not arrived yet from High Point Scientific I did end up getting the Neptune 664c camera so eager to test that out when it gets here. sorry for the late response I do not get youtube notifications for some reason.
@@Real-Tecnica Very nice combination! I'm still trying to decide on a camera, so many choices, it's mind boggling. I am looking at dew protection. The struggle is real. As is proper optics cleaning.
Bonsai soil opinions are many. Not all soil mixtures work on all plants. Some plants will hate everything you throw at it. Your adventure will uncover your own mixes. Good luck
Hi there can you please tell me how tall the telescope is in the base when it's collapsed I'm getting one of them soon and I'm Building a shed for outside on my decking thanks
The 8 inch is the best size all in all. I had a temporary lack of judgement. Twice so far I have taken it out, but still learning how to drive these things. Looking for a quick setup routine, so many ways to calibrate the synscan. Which way is correct. Saw a video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ufExHsPD4lg.html clever idea.
