You're right of course about the angle being at it's limits. Your cut away of the design made that plain. I wish I had thicker Lexan to work with, but the thickest I have is .5" at this time, and not much chance to get any that's thicker for a bit.
While I found the stress work interesting, you used acrylic, but Lexan (polycarbonate) is FAR stronger (approx 30X I think) for a given thickness of material than acrylic. Would not Lexan pretty well remove stress risks for the design?
Thanks to all for your continued help and advice.

I'm working on a double top right now...will see the results soon...
...however, I'm afraid that the assembly is going to be too thick...
About the stress...Plexi is good enough and I am doing the analysis just to prove it and not because I doubt it. However, it would be interesting to check Lexan out but. Since I have no data about it at, I would have to input the data myself. I have never had a chance to see the material (except there are some Lexan parts in Boeing planes that I don't know of
). If you have the basic data, please let us know.
