I agree, don’t you need a flat surface to connect tension to compression?Dreamz wrote:Yeah, how do you connect tube with tensions?scioly2345 wrote:How does that work? Rolling balsa sheet?

Personally, I wouldn’t try to overdo the design. Trying to put tension sticks on a curved surface seems too complicated. I tend to stick with a simple design and just trying to get that to get maximum efficiency with that boomi mass, then trying to dial down the boomi mass.
