No Tib.

I was close with my previous model of the orignal Avanti A/P using dimensions from others and my trying to use the manual, but the model was not looking good without changing some specs...which I did not want to do.

Your dimensions give me the exposed dimensions and IMO that is what I need for a reasonably accurate model.

You show a nice image of the hub with tape measure and indicating most of the dimensions, but I don't see the dimension for the distance between the center of each radial. Just to be sure, would you remeasure your mounting hub from center to center for the two down elements? I get 6" inches and you get a fraction more.

That said, I can't be sure a fix to this model using new dimensions will change the performance, but we'll see.

I have not fixed my model using your numbers yet. I'm just not up to concentrating on all the details.

If you can and just for the record, when you get your antenna built, please double check and see if all of your exposed tubing dimensions are still the same.

Thanks for your efforts here.
