5.2- Cockpit and front ballast assembly
On all our harnesses, a special front container can be fitted, complete with ballast, map case and instrument panel. The only exceptions are harnesses with a
front-mounted reserve parachute, or in which the cockpit has been integrated into the structure of the harness itself.
The “cockpit and front ballast container” is fixed using the webbing loops which are hooked into the main karabiners. The karabiners should be opened and passed
through the red loops of the support strap, with the opening bar facing the rear. A webbing triangle is sewn to both sides of the container, with a fastening buckle
that can also be used for adjustment. By modifying the position of the fastening buckle and the length of the strap, the height and inclination of the instrument
panel can be varied as required.
5.3- Relax-bar
A relax-bar can be fitted to all our harnesses, except for those already incorporating this accessory. The relax-bar is used to keep the legs stretched out and the
feet resting on a support. Some pilots consider this flying position as more comfortable than the classic seated position with legs hanging.
To attach the relax bar to the harness, follow the instructions provided in the relax-bar instruction manual.
5.4- Leg Cover
Leg Cover is a product that has been developed uniquely by Woody Valley in order to ensure unequalled comfort. The special cover in waterproof, vapour-
permeable fabric ensures protection from the cold and provides an improved aerodynamic profile. To fit the leg cover to the harness, follow the instructions
provided in the Leg Cover instruction manual.
