Distance suspension
The P42 is delivered with a hard spreader. However, soft spreads can also be used. The two-seater
distance suspension has a suspension loop for the pilot (1), two suspension loops for the passenger
(2+3) and the central paraglider suspension (4). The pilot hangs himself/herself in loop 1. loop 3 is
provided for small passengers and loop 2 for larger passengers. Care must be taken to ensure that
it is symmetrically suspended. Unsymmetrical suspension can cause the pilot and passenger to be in
an uncomfortable flight position and make it difficult to control the glider.
