WSI 6 Panels Help

[Kraven]

Edit: This is regarding the WSI 6ft Discount dish.

Folks, barring any unforseen issues, am going to attempt to temporarilly mount this thing today.
Questions is, what's the easiest way to work w/ the panels?

1- Attach all 6 panels together, pick it up and secure it to the mounted polar mount ?

2- Install the polar mount on the pole, then attach the panels one by one?

Or if anyone else has a better suggestion, please contribute...

Cheers, K

PS- True South sat is 72w. What's the strongest C* transponder on it?

When I assembled mine the best advise that I found was to assemble the panels face down on a flat surface while elevating the center of the dish in the center. This will reduce the stress on the panels while reducing distortion. Then attach the polar mound and lift the assembly by the polar mount to the pole.

thats how I have built all of my 6 footers
lay the panels down and build it like a "mini kingdome" (you know...the dome that was in Seattle)
attach to the "O" ring...now mine was fixed so I put the O ring on it then attached to the frame
