Different settings

1.2.1

Shoulder straps #1 :

Support the weight of the harness before takeoff.
Limit the inclination of the pilot in the air.
Prevent the pilot from falling out of the harness in upside down flight.
After having checked with the harness suspended that it is possible to get into and out of the harness, the shoulder straps sometimes have to be re-adjusted in
the air for more support and comfort.
We advise a close contact, but not too tight, to allow freedom of movement of the shoulders in the air and at take-off and landing.
1.2.2

Back straps #2 :

Adjust the inclination of the pilot's back.
An overly reclined position can make flight uncomfortable (reduced field of vision) and make getting into position ready for landing difficult.
If too tight, it will be difficult to get into the harness after take-off.
According to the weight carried in the main pocket and/or in the ballast container, this setting may need adjustment in the air.
1.2.3

Back strap #3 :

Adjusts the back length.
Allows to adjust the harness for a gauge from 1m50 to 2m approximately.
1.2.4

Adjustable seat-plate #4 :

This harness is equipped with a system of adjustment of the seat-plate in width.
Allows to adapt the seat to the morphology of each one.
1.2.5

Main strap #5 :

Pre-adjusts the size adjustment of the harness :
- Loops connected ("short" version) : passenger size between 1m50 and 1m75 *.
- Free loops ("long" version) : passenger size between 1m75 and 2m *.
* These data are indicative and will be left to the discretion of the pilot
