I was also tempted by the innovative design of this system, but was put off by the fact that the rudder rotates only 180 degrees (rather than the conventional 270 degrees) so that when it is in the "up" position, it is actually pointing straight up. Not only does this look a little funny, but is vulnerable to damage, and might be an unwanted wind catcher. ......Just my 2 cents (Canadian)
