they tested at three scopes - 3:1, 5:1, and 7:1. You're also contradicted by the fact that the Fortress did quite well.
[/ QUOTE ] I wasn't aware that they'd tried three scopes, since I was only reading from the Motor Boat material. Good on them, and sorry about that.
I believe (but don't know) that Fortess has a wider hinge than Danforth, and is more tolerant of short scopes. Just hearsay though . . . but that was an enormous piece of metal they were dropping in!

[/ QUOTE ]You may be right. We haven't done enough testing involving Danforth styles to comment.
Yes, massive. In steel it would weigh nearly 28Kg. I think we might send in a 10Kg aluminium Rocna next time just to mess with 'em...

I've just bought a Manson Supreme. If I haven't been dragged away into the sunset I'll report back at the end of the season. Assumming anyone has the slightest interest that is!
