Message-ID: I got the first projector fired up this evening and while there's a problem or two, the results are very very good! I made a calculation error on the distance that the LCD needed to be from the triplet (the output lens) and as such, the projector focuses at about 80". This is Bad(tm). It turns out that the distance from the LCD to the center of the triplet should have been right around 330mm. Right now it's about 380mm. I need to detach the face of the projector and move it in about an inch. I'm glad I didn't use glue along with the pocket screws or I'd be cussing a blue streak right about now... Tomorrow afternoon I'll make the change and if all goes well I'll try to get some pictures posted of it. g. -- Proud owner of F-15C 80-0007 http://www.f15sim.com - The only one of its kind. http://www.simpits.org/geneb - The Me-109F/X Project ScarletDME - The red hot Data Management Environment A Multi-Value database for the masses, not the classes. http://www.scarletdme.org - Get it _today_!
