Hint

ADVANCE recommend that you thoroughly familiarise yourself with these adjustments 
before your first flight in the harness. As well as that you should always make your first 
test flight with new equipment in quiet weather conditions.

4.3.2. Adjustment steps

Adjusting the upper body angle

Upper body attitude is altered by the adjustable back straps (1). Pull them in to a reasonably upright back position 
at which you feel comfortable. They also set the recline angle quickly and easily during flight. These straps are 
mounted relatively high at the sides to give good back support, and take weight off your shoulders. Pulling in the 
back straps results in an upright back – loosening them completely will put the pilot in something approaching a 
lying position. ADVANCE recommend the basic setting.
