Open source: the code and the build docs

System 6.9 is a community DIY endless shuttle, and everything behind this site is open. You can read it, copy it, change it and build from it.

Not certified. Use at your own risk. System 6.9 is a home build, not a commercial product or a certified tow system. The files come with no warranty. If you build or ride one, you're responsible for it.
