    Just some advice I learned the hard way... If you throw what you have on top (depending on the design), it will be very difficult to get things to balance correctly. My situation was a top heavy mess that quickly became the biggest limiting factor. But it got me to a more solid idea about what dimensions I wanted to use for my final design. Good luck with the build.

    Thanks for the heads up. Been looking at a few setups may go without the static rig on top
