Great! Bob Paff has it on the nose. Now, what does this mean to torsional
flexture and dampening time? The stiffer it is, the higher the
oscillating frequency, right? It is a mass-spring rate solution. So
drilling or hollowing out small diameter shafts may be counter
productive. It is important on the OTA, heh-heh, or you can't see through it!
Is all this logic correct? Hummm, I wonder?
Ok robertf,
