If you have zips on your LE to access the bladder, make sure it's tucked down and covered as much as it can be discovered I've poked a whole in my XB 13's canopy cos the zipper tab was sticking up RedSky - 14-3-2013 at 06:06 PM
Good tip. Not thought to check that.
Don't sweat it too much tho. I fly my kites with 6 inch holes in them and they work just fine. I don't usually repair them unless it get's much bigger
or it's an LE tear.
I did my own professional LE repair last week to my XB 13. I'm thinking I might start a new side line in repairs.

I'm sorry but I have to LOL at that
I bought a 2011 XB 16 and discovered about 15 pin-holes in the canopy not happy
but the kite still works fine. I've fixed them all TearAid but I'll check all my LEIs now.
Once the new job starts, I'm going to sell my Crossbows... cheap cos of the holes stetson05 - 15-3-2013 at 09:38 AM

If you leave your bar/lines connected, make sure chickenloop is in a good spot, have seen a kite come out of storage with a 2" tear that the
chickenfinger(y'all may call it something else... :P ) had created in the canopy!Proletariat - 16-3-2013 at 05:48 PM
