Just did this with my 3el 40M that went up last weekend as the
DE was at the balance point. I actually used the Tic Rig Truss
and extra saddle clamps to "hoist" the beam up a bit and made
a new balance point at the truss attachment point by attaching
some heavy surplus aluminum INSIDE the boom. (Also helps you get
those truss lines measured out right.)
