2.3.5- Stabilizer
This small but important adjustment makes it possible to stabilize the harness when you exert
pressure on the speed-bar, preventing excessive tilt of the back. Its mode of operation is very
simple: when you push the speed-bar, this small plastic buckle blocks the shoulder-straps at the
point at which they slide in the chest strap, making the entire strap system more rigid and
improving overall harness stability. This adjustment is correctly set by the manufacturer.
2.3.6- ABS adjustment
This adjustment affect flying performance. The looser it is, the less stable the harness becomes, and
therefore the more sensitive to pilot movements. Vice versa, the tighter it is adjusted, the more stable
the harness becomes, requiring more pronounced pilot movements in flight.
X-ALPS GTO is supplied with this adjustment set to a position that is suitable for most pilots. If you
wish to change this setting, take great care and make very small changes, just a few millimeters every
time. Ensure that adjustments are made with absolute symmetry.
