I've been looking around trying to find specifics about the virtual counterweight system. I don't have a S&T '99 issue to reference, and have been looking at peoples designs online.
Is there a website that tells specifically what type of spring and how to calculate where to put them? I see some that are simply tension that pull vertically down, which to me doesn't seem nearly as effective as some who have the spring attached to a pulley and then to an anchor spot on the altitude bearing.
All advice is most welcome.
Thanks,
Guy
