Less than one year old Moyes SX5, white LE with blue stripe undersurface for sale $3200.00. This glider is one of the nicest handeling/climbing/gliding of 9 that I have owned. I am going topless next year.

Which topless are you 'going', Flex or rigid? Brand?

I just ordered a Sensor to replace my CSX, which is an early model with 200 hours. I wanted to buy a new sail from Moyes, but the cost was so high, it just wasn't worth it.

The sail on a flex wing is about 2/3 of the glider cost. They have several compound curves, which have to be reproduced exactly the same on each side or the glider has a turn. If someone could design a frame that didn't need a curved sail to pre-load it, gliders could be a lot cheaper.
