hi I am in the process of buiding a flying crank ghost out of an old computer desk (the kind made out of lightweight tubing). I am viewed many directions inlcuding tutorials on this site. It appears the pulleys are arranged in the shape of a triangle. Does anyone know the dimensions of that triangle. From what I figured 30-inches looks right. Any input? Thanks!

Are you asking for the dementions from pully to pully when the arms are stretched out?
pulley to pulley (to pulley)
thanks again
I think it all depends on how long you make the arms. I had to adjust mine out a bit further than my original angles.

You have seen the build instructions on the phantasmechanics site, right?

I think 30 inches for the arms works...........and about 20 inches back to the head.............its really cool how much you can play with it..........I tried alot of diff ways before I got what I wanted..................try making a rig and using your hand or something to see if it would be better tighter or farther apart...................good luck
also in the trial stage use fishing line its easy to snap off if you need too......I went though about 50 yards......lol
