Oh please do!

I'm finally coming to realization that the use of angles in the guys
create new forces which add together on the design elements of tower.
The sharper the angle, the greater the newly created force. I'm still
chasing around the forces in the previous round of examples, but would
like to see an example of wind blowing from bearing 90 degrees.

Thanks.
