Best advice I can give you is to take it slow. DO NOT RUSH TO JUMP YOUR CREATION. Instead, find some local to you that has experience in building gear and show him or her what you have done.

The first rig I build for my self (a straight up copy of a Reactor) took me 7 months of sewing, tearing it apart, re-sewing it, re-tearing it apart, and testing before I felt comfortable jumping it and even then I wonder just how comfortable I really was.

It will be a very labor intensive experience designing something unique that wont kill you but there is no better feeling than looking back up at the object you have just jumped from and knowing that your alive because of your intellect and ability.
I'm sure that you have more questions than I have answered here so rather than discuss this in an open forum where any yahoo can read what I say and misuse/misconstrue what he reads, send me a PM and we can talk further.
