3.6.3 Hang-test in a Simulator
It is HIGHLY recommended that you perform a hang-test in a simulator before the initial flight of the
POWER JET, and every time you make a harness adjustment thereafter. A simulator can consist of two
ropes tied to a horizontal (and strong) tree limb, two ropes tied to rafters in your garage or basement,
etc.
Once you have made your initial adjustments, strap into the POWER JET and clip the carabiners into
the simulator. Gently lift your feet and get seated in the harness.
Continue to adjust the harness until the following criteria are met:
x
The ground-handling straps should be loose and comfortable
x
The ground handling chest strap should be loose (still buckled, but loose)
x
No part of the harness should hamper free movement of your arms and the throttle cable.
Make sure you can reach your arms up very high with no strain or interference from the harness
x
The propeller shaft must be approximately 5, and no more than 10, degrees below
horizontal
