Mini-project: Radar dish assembly

The first of two mini-projects will be the radar dish assembly. I already have a 10.5' aluminum c-band satellite dish as a framework for the radar dish, and can construct the base and frame from welded steel and plywood.

Exterior project components

I've identified these exterior project components:

Foundation footings
Landing gear
Sub-frame
Framework
Dish antenna
Guns
Ramp
