Long discussion on this some time ago on DIY Audio.

The arm will have a skating force component because the stylus reaction force vector does not pass through the main pivot point. Until Frank reveals the exact details of the magnetic track components the amount of skate force is difficult to calculate, but on first principles for a design like this it must exist and it must change with arm angle.
