I think the difference between your home made rig and the three I made is yours works. Thats a dig at me by the way. I spent as much $ on my three home made attempts as a good commercial rig. But my design wasn't engineered well and I finally just surrendered. A good friend still doesn't have a rig because he is still making it. Seven years later. So in short yes I was wrong. Not totally wrong but still wrong. The Qajaq guys and gals make really good stuff by hand all the time. And that needs to be respected.
