: product all round imo.

They changed to the cam locks this spring. I built the Wahoo FSK for Lisa in April. Stellar sent wing nuts. Fast forward to June. The rails they sent for the Sea Racer project came with cam locks. SO much easier to adjust.

Agree about your comments regarding Stellar. Great company to work with.
