Can you go into detail of why it is controversial? Is it the design? Ease of use?

Didn't know how, Ill try it now

Would you guys use a fly rail tool that locks un-balanced ropes together to secure an out of balance line set?

Thanks everyone for the info.I think that since you have mentioned problems with other existing tools we will approach it as an innovative project to try and make it easier for people.(Also, don't give me idea's on how to solve it and make a different tool because in the grading that is...

Hey everyone,My buddy and I are doing a Senior project for our engineering class and we have to define a problem and invent or innovate something to make it better.The problem we have identified is that un-balanced line sets have to be tied down and be "saftied" to the rail in case the load...

Do it. That's like buying a used Cadillac for $2,000
