[Member-Forum] Moment of Inertia

[Joe Perkel]

Hi Paul,<br/><br/>The question is anecdotal based on an off the cuff thought of upsizing the shell O.D. to 42" from 36". I am very hesitant to do this do to weight and handling issues however, several members have made a compelling rationale r/t simple comfort. At 53 I'm 6' 190 lbs and should expect that L to W ratio to change by build time! <br/><br/>I have to think a bit about the shell thickness r/t welding and corrosion issues, but Depth no more than 350'. I seem to remember a cross section drawing of a T section somewhere with a simple L/W/H relationship to shell T, but can't find it again. <br/><br/>I'll take that pdf if you don't mind. I'm not at home and won't be until later this week to do some number crunching.<br/><br/>Thanks Paul!<br/><br/><br/>Joe<br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad<a href="http://overview.mail.yahoo.com?.src=iOS"><br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad</a>
