Re: [APML] CG-11 vs. G-11 heads

[Stuart Heggie <stuart.j.heggie@sympatico.ca>]

Alan - very quickly - I got a barely used CG-11 this past winter and it 
is a dream. The only thing I detect different from the newer G-11's is 
mine doesn't have a second bolt to hold the altitutude but I'm having no 
problem so not sure I'm missing anything - maybe if I was pushing the 
weight limit it might matter but I've got less than 30lbs on a mount 
rated for 60lbs. Also, it may be that you'd get the new worm gear for RA 
but at 2 years old I would investigate that before saying for sure.
