Hi everyone.  I just got an HQ Shadow and when assembling it noticed this tear about 3/4 of the way down the right sail at the bottom.  It seems like a pita place to make a repair but I don't want it to get worse at all.  Also, when i tighten the tailing edge line there it "scrunches" at this area so obviously it needs to be repaired if I ever want the trailing edge tighter. 

What do I do?

It doesn't sound like it's in a wear area - I would just cover it with a small piece of tape (insignia or gaffers).

I like my Shadow with the leech line fully loose, btw - it seems to fly just as low and it also makes it a bit less "spinny".

use Insignia Tape
