When you model a "hat" on a tower, the angle at which you hang the hat
is
very important. Straight down--no effect. Straight out 90
degrees--maximum
effect. Somewhere in between, say 45 degrees, some effect but not
much. I
suspect that angle at which you guy the tower is perhaps roughly 30
degrees
at the top, which is toward the "no effect" side of things.

Experiment confirms theory...confirms experiment...etc. Nicely done!
