Re: Another flying issue




Please look at the pics again. All three beams of that truss are in compression, as there is a pull down strap on a beam on the upstage of the assembly. Also, there is no way those speakers weigh over 250# each. 75# each is more likely. That's why I estimated a total load on the downstage side to be approximately 400# including rigging and winch.


Worst case there is 500# on each of the downstage beams, if the strap is tensioned equal to the weight of the total speaker/rigging load.
