I apparently don't know my X's from my Y's...the total is 500-600 feet. Thanks for the comment.

Sweet! Certainly gives many hints how things can be done. How many feet of wire did you use in total? Track length times two + X where X is for structural stability and some certainly got trashed along the way -- So how big was X ?

Hi, thanks for the comments. Yeah, there's definitely 1000 different ways to create an RBS. It's more of an artistic statement than anything else once it's done. I didn't keep real good track of the wire used, but based on the wire cost, I'd say I used around 500-600 feet, including the structural supports. The track probably took about 300-400 feet of that (150'-200' x 2), so probably about 150-200 feet for the structural supports, track supports, spiral, and waste. So X=150-200 feet.
