Inertia is the resistance of a mass to change speed or direction. Torque is is a force or weight acting at a distance. I don't t think you should group inertia...

The way I see it is that the moment of inertia only comes into play when the motors have to get the RA axis rotating from a standing start. Once rotating at a...

Edd, While I agree with your conjecture, when "slewing" in RA is required, I wonder if overcoming the inertia might not be as quick when only a "bump" of that...
