A question, though. One of the beefs with Phillystran is that it stretches
about twice as much as EHS of the same approximate breaking strength, for a
given tension. This implies to me that using bigger Phillystran might make
for less deflection of the tower under load, and result in a tower that
would be somewhat stronger than otherwise. Am I missing something?
