um... I am not saying that you are wrong but are you sure you got a cantilever to go 49cm out? And if so, what did you use for the lever, or thing that hangs off?

Your tower should be taller than that. It is very short in comparrison with your other structures. how did you make you cantilever and bridge so long.?

There is no rule against it. Will you have enough left for a counter weight when you structures get big enough. We just use all of our extra supplies.
