Originally I was using all four, but after working with it a bit and changing the springs orientations I found it worked well with just the one set. I’ve left the other two in case I change my mind :)

For the upper arm, will it eventually use all four springs or do you alternate the pair based on the direction you want it to lean?

I know this is way later and doesn’t really matter, but I really liked your idea and thought about it for a while.
I ended up coming up with this spring “quick caps” for quickly moving, rearranging, or de-tensioning them for maintenance and it has really improved how the whole boom operates.
Anyway, thanks for the idea!

Those quick releases look great. Simple solutions are sometimes the hardest thing to come up with.
