Bit of team work from others saved this chap in his open class glider some major grief.

 

A dodgy video but you can see at the start the tail cover still on.

There would have to be a few checks missed there. You make your own luck Nev

It seems that its at the comps where bad stuff like this is to be mostly seen.

You would fly without pre flighting - Really???!!!

Yes, put under pressure and things get missed. I must say that's the worst thing I've seen though, leaving a cover on the tail!!
