That's a stretch... maybe pushing the limit switches to the, well, limit...
As far as what they said about the actuator getting bent, well, any of them can get bent... but if a heavy actuator like the Venture 36" I've got was to get bent, well... I don't think a bent actuator would be at the top of my concern list in that case...
Just sayin'...

Currently NO LONGER in use: 10' generic mesh w/ BSC621, 24" HTS actuator, movement USED TO BE controlled by analog HTS System 20. Coolsat 6000 premium handling the signals. Range 55-137W.
BUT, MY 17 YR OLD SON had to nail it with the tractor, so now that beautiful BUD in my avatar is a pile of spare parts....
HOWEVER:
Waiting to be added: 10' mesh, 8' mesh Winegard, Corotor II, 36" HD Venture actuator, 24" HTS actuator, GI 920 4DTV.
Saving money for: HD FTA receiver & PCI HD SAT card for PC.
Apparently my shot at the BirdView fell thru.
If anyone knows of one near the Memphis area (within 200 miles or so) let me know, eh?
