Really nice work Ian!
Just wondering how much tension you need on the strings to make the truss feel stable enough? Is it a reasonable amount or fairly light? (Probably hard to gauge or describe in words?) Is there any problem with the main struts wanting to bend/flex at all, or is the pressure on them not significant enough? I'm trying to get a "feel" for this design. Love the idea of saving weight, especially as I get older and lazier!
I'm in the process of redesigning one of my old scopes and looking at all sorts of ideas.
Cheers
Nick
