I did not want to hijack the other thread with a mono-leaf discussion, so here I am, and here is what I have...
A year or so ago I chatted with someone who gave me some info to make a guesstimate, and I used that to do my cad drawing...but I have since lost my notes. According to the CAD file, I used 5/8" as the amount of deflection under load. To me it seems like there would be more deflection.
This is another one of those "I'll seal with it later" issues that are now becoming critical, as I get close to commissioning my frame.
