On the subject of PVC tubing, cant some stress weenie setup some calculations for Excel that will take tube diameter(s), length, mirror weight, CG or mount position and calculate the sag at the secondary. Oh yes and throw in the modulis, etc, etc. If I haden't thrown Rouarks away when I retired, I'd take a cut at it. We gotta get some high tech (calculations at least) into our oppinions.
