Re: Recent G11 Reviews Needed Please
I have needed to adjust mine frequently. I also had to adjust the worm blocks to make the spring adjustment remove the RA stalling I was getting. These mounts do need adjusting, I cant say that "Just

Do you have pictures of this? I bought mine last April and I am curious to see what you mean.

Re: Loose RA after Wavy Washer Install?
I have 2 Wavy Washers coming. I hope I didn't buy them for nothing. I do have quite the dead zone when balancing.

Re: CGE Pro tripod under Losmandy g11
I bought the MA adapter to fit my G11 to my Primalucelab C120 EQ8-R adapter plate. With careful alignment, drilling and tapping it came out great.

Re: Loose RA after Wavy Washer Install?
Just use center of moment. This setup gives you 94.5 negative inch lbs of moment. That's equal to 7.9 ft. lbs. If it holds you're on spec. [image: image.png]

Re: CGE Pro tripod under Losmandy g11
Well, I'd just grab a MA (Meade field tripod adapter), bore/thread, etc. for the bolt holes to match those of the CGE tripod hub.

Re: Loose RA after Wavy Washer Install?
I'm not suggesting a torque wrench and adapter.? Just the moment arm and force applied.? With the RA balanced and horizontal we slide the counterweights outward (same if inward).? ?We configure

Re: Loose RA after Wavy Washer Install?
Hi Peter, Just noticed your posting. The wavy washer is intended to take a little downward force off the RA clutch so you can balance your load at your latitude. You can get a sense of the balance by

Re: Loose RA after Wavy Washer Install?
How are you getting a torque wrench on the RA? I have the RA extension kit and don¡¯t see any bolt- like object to put a socket onto. This is what the RA clutch looked like when I disassembled it to

Re: Loose RA after Wavy Washer Install?
I have always wondered how tight the clutch knobs should be. On my 2 SkyWatcher mounts they have levers which are fairly easy to set to a consistent level.

Re: Loose RA after Wavy Washer Install?
Did you verify the clutch surfaces remained dry.? Free from any contamination from solids or oil from grease? It's perhaps easier with a number.? A measure the torque that breaks the starting

Re: Loose RA after Wavy Washer Install?
The G11 was designed without manual adjusters. The clutches are intended to be free enough to move the mount manually. So they should slip. Question is the force needed to make them slip. Your 50#

Loose RA after Wavy Washer Install?
I have a new G11G carrying a ~50lb payload. I wasnt able to balance the payload very well (even setting the Altitude to horizontal). So I opt¡¯d for the wavy washer upgrade. I just installed it

I have a 130mm refractor (~35lbs with imaging gear) on my G11G with a 21lb and an 11lb counterweights. That works very well like other comments but I did have to do the basics - level and balance the
