Harness
features
We recommend hanging the harness
in a simulator to find the optimum
setting. Put all of the items that you
would normally have during flight into
the rear pocket, so as to create the
most realistic simulation of flight
position and conditions.
Adjust back angle and seat depth

depth
Buckle no. 1 is for adjustment of the
angle of the lower back, allowing a
choice of how “deep” to sit in the
harness (Fig. 14). A comfortable seating
position should be chosen which is
suitable for the pilot’s build, so that no
further adjustments need to be made
during flight. The range of angle
adjustment is about 10°, with the pilot
sitting “deeper” the more the adjustor
is opened.
Buckle no. 2 is for the angle of
inclination of the upper body vis-à-vis
vertical flight axis.
Buckle no. 3 alters the angle of the
thigh. This gradient should be adjusted
in such a way that you can easily get
into your seating position and back out
again.
Length of shoulder straps
Adjusting the shoulder straps allows
the harness to be altered according to
the height
of the pilot. This is done
using
the
adjustment
buckles
integrated in the shoulder padding.
The strap is loosened upwards above
the loop and tightened downwards
through the strap.
The shoulder strap is correctly adjusted
if it lies on the shoulder but the
crimped elastic band at the lower end
is not stretched taut.

Chest strap
The chest strap controls the distance
between the two carabiners, and can
be opened up to 50cm. For your first
flight with the CONNECT RACE LITE,
we recommend setting the chest strap
half-way so that the correct distance
can gradually be determined during
flight. A tighter chest strap gives you
greater stability. Opening it up too
much does not improve performance,
but makes the harness less stable.
