When in design stage of my 1.0 build, I saw drew out and talked with several folks following this design. I do consider this one of the best I came upon. Light on complexity (keep it simple principle), yet it tended to jam as lifting (asI heard). Even here too many moving parts and styles of hinging attempting to cooperate. I talked with a couple Aussie's (they know what they're doing) and debated the side panel lifts they did vs. what I did as a front/rear lift. Main agreement was separating the panels into two groups and lift.Trying to do all at once we agreed was going to bind in some way. To lift with side lifts meant raising the entire roof at once. My front/rear lift only requires each half at once, meaning no need for gas/spring assisted pistons. Swing the side walls into position once up. Then, it goes to how high and allowable space when folded... What do you want for visible or air area... Any possible wants for that wall area...

I'm following along as you go.
