And now without the leg supports! :D

I know of 2 instances of this being done, I have a photo of one of them.
Be prepared for a lot of crashes and have your camera handy when you finally make it, the sphere won't last long.

Peter, Thanks for the reply and yes we have already been down that road of building the sphere without supports. It's a very difficult path that we have had no success with. We did accomplish it for the 810 sphere but only after many attempts and as you said, it did not last long.

We have seen your 1440 sphere without supports posted on this forum and are very impressed. (in case anyone else wants to see it click here: http://forum.geomagworld.com/download/file.php?id=17&mode=view) Congrats on that. My kids and I think it's amazing. It was our motivation to attempt our own 1440 sphere. With supports we got it on the first attempt and it is still standing today.
