Franco,

1.The reversal of the beak Velcro is the best improvement. Mine is a little PITA to work with. Maybe I'll seam rip off the old Velcro & re-stitch it "correctly"...or not. Don't really want to cut & re-sew the beak edge at the Velcro top to flap it over the side material.

2. The taughter pitch will be welcome. (More catenary cut in the top seams I assume.)

3. The no-seam rear canopy ending is nice. (NOW I understand those Da-Glo orange string thingys.)

4. I can re-arrange my own front tensioner and will do so.

5. I called Henry & told him rain on the rear netting leaked down & inside B/C the bottom netting seam was not overlapped to hang a bit (1/8") outside the top of the silnylon rear floor "wall". (Mine now is over lapped outside the wall top in a DIY but is the new Contrail fixed there?)

Still love my Contrail and people are still amazed at how little it weighs with that much room.

Eric
