chest Strap
The adjustment of the chest strap controls the distance between the carabiners and
affects the handling and stability of the glider. Widening the distance between the cara-
biners increases feedback from the wing and allows for easier weight shift. Tightening
the strap gives you a more stable feeling in turbulence but increases the risk of stable
spiral and also the risk of twisting!
The chest strap may also be adjusted in flight according to the conditions; for exam-
ple, it may be tightened in turbulent air and flown at a looser setting in less turbulent or
weak conditions (always maintain adjustments within the manufacturer’s recommend-
ed range).
Seat Straps
The seat straps change the depth of the seat. Adjust to find a comfortable position. In
the sitting position, lengthen the straps to their maximum at first and then use the plas-
tic buckles to shorten the straps to find a comfortable position with good back sup-
port. Lengthening the straps also helps you to slide easily into the harness at launch,
while shortening the straps helps you to be in the standing position for landing.
Speed Bar
Hanging in the simulator, adjust the length of the speed bar cord so that the bar hangs
at least 15cm below the front of the harness. Making the cord too short could result in
the speed system being constantly or unintentionally engaged during flight. It is safer
to start with the speed bar a little long and shorten it following your first flights.
test the speed bar in flight only after you are comfortable with your new har-
ness, and always do so in calm conditions with ample ground clearance.
