Absolutely, Jim, stave off the noise and aggravation of pulling out the genny!
I was trying to design a dual-axis tilting mount and just couldn't seem to get my brain around it. The neurons were mired in trying to implement four tilting mounts at the corners. I talked to a friend on the phone and within 30 seconds he had it designed and was going over the construction details. Pays to have a mechanically minded buddy! The epiphany was to use a separate partial frame for tilting and to attach hinged mounts to the tilting frame. This even allows for a complex angle to be used. I'll be building this out in the next few days.
