Nigel made a demo flight on the LiteSport (he likes it a lot) and noticed a small rip in the sail. Turns out it's made where the leading edge goes up against the keel/uprights when rigging on the A-frame: if you forget to put the padding in (which I do, regularly) before you close it up, then the rolling action of the leading edges around the keel seems to make the upright mount act like a knife. Very annoying. Solution: do as Icaro and others, make the padding integral to the upright fittings and leave it on the glider. The Moyes padding is a bit on the large size for that so I'll have to get the sewing machine out.
