    What is the optimum angle to set 100mm actuators for a FREX type set up I see some that look like a 30 degree rake and others at nearly vertical.
    Thanks

    The angle is not quite as critical with 100mm because they do not move your body weight as far from the pivot center meaning that they wont be lifting as much load.
