We did something very, very similar in 2003, but had many difficulties. How well does your setup slide with the track? Is it still sturdy once it gets extended?

It slides very well, in total it extends over 13'. It has a little play in it but it is pretty sturdy.

How much does it weigh? I like 80/20 but it gets heavy.

The arm all together with all of the pnuematics and stuff is about 47 Lbs.
