Overpass rigidity?

[Given To Fly]

We are using black PVC pipe too. We only built one section of half of the field's overhead track. Sturdy for sure!

We did the pvc with 1" black pipe in the overpass only. Just PVC on the ends as per the basic team plan (no black pipe). We used 1/8" acft cable criss/crossed on the end supports for more firmness. QUESTION: 78inches, is that from the carpet to the top of the over pass pipe, or the bottom of the overpass pipe?. How much "sag" is in the center of the official game overpass?

Q&A has spoken...Top of the pipes from the carpet is 6.5 feet or 78 inches.
