Harness adjustment for flight
Before the first flight, we suggest the pilot simulate his/her flying position hanging the
harness on a harness tester, sitting on

Harness and trying to find the best position
adjustment. This simulation becomes more realistic if the back pocket is filled with
objects the pilot would normally carry during flight.
After adjusting the back, the pilot must choose the best body inclination, respecting a
central vertical line. We don't advise a steep inclination, so that vision and access to
commands are not jeopardized.
The shoulder strap is adjustable, varying according to the pilots' height. For better
comfort, the shoulder straps support part of the dorsal weight. The pectoral strap
regulates the distance between the two carabiners, which varies depending on the
paraglider's size.
Flight position
Avoid a laying flying position, as this alters the paraglider's commands:
•
Your command is shortened
•
More vulnerable to a twist
