Yeah, definitely beef up those supports one size...if not two. Looks sweet though!

They're size 3 guys, the distance in the screen shot makes the look thinner. 3 is thick enough, this isn't B&M with the huge beefy supports.

I see no problem with the supports' sizes. The shaping on that dive loop looks a bit strange from here though.

Well, if you think they are too beefy, I'd add in ONE more support and shift the others around. It just looks to flimsy, but it could be the angle.

Sorry Jer, but i would honestly say that the dive loop is under supported, move the 90' support up to the 135" point and put another one in between. Good job on the tower!

Archy, I don't think he is done yet

Also, now I can see better. The supports looks good thickness now.

Imelmann supports are done, inspiration came from a mix of G-Force, and Formule X....just on a larger scale.

what the double post bat man!

More supports, I will continue to support the ride for another few weeks until June 4th I go on vacation, then i'm going to challenge myself to design and finish a good ride in a week. It's the only thing i'll be able to use my laptop for since I wont have any internet.

Looks decent, just don't get skimpy.
