twice?? As I recall from several years ago when I had one, the
instructions said to allow 8 hours for a KT-34XA, and it took me
more like 4X, working carefully. ("Measure twice, cut once", school
of construction.)
I only had it up for a year before moving from that house, but
FWIW, it was a good performer and survived one Minnesota winter
very well. One thing... the KT34-XA is not torque balanced, so
it is quite a weather vane. Get a rotator with good brakes. (Only a
problem with XA, I suspect.)
