Thank you for your comments Edmond. The intent of the blog was to provide dynamic response data for each rod independent of a sail as stated in the summary. This blog was intended to stimulate further discussion on frame/sail selection here: http://kitelife.com/forum/topic/7329-carbon-tubing-comparison/
As you mentioned, there are obviously other factors involved when you are flying a frame with a sail, but how do you decide how to tweak it? perhaps the data that I have presented might provide some insight.
You have already introduced two very important points, friction in the sail and tension on the frame. I look forward to reading further comments from you in the forum.
