2.2.3- Chest strap adjustment
The chest strap which controls the distance between the two karabiners can be adjusted from 40 to 55 cm. For the first flight with X-ALPS, we
suggest setting the chest strap to the minimum length, then locating the preferred length in flight by means of gradual adjustment. When the
chest strap is shorter and tighter, stability is greater. An excessive distance between karabiners does not improve glider performance, and
tightening the chest strap excessively may exacerbate the "twist" effect that may follow an asymmetric collapse of the sail.
2.2.4- Adjusting the emergency parachute container and cockpit
To adjust the height of the emergency parachute container, the Velcro strips have to be moved from the bridle to inside the container. Follow
the instructions provided in paragraph 2.1.3.
2.2.5- Leg strap adjustment
The roots of the leg straps are positioned high, a characteristic of the Get-Up system, and this ensures great freedom of movement for the
legs. Generally, the factory settings are correct. If it is difficult to enter the harness after launch, we suggest tightening the leg strap
adjustment under the seat. This makes it easier for the pilot to enter the harness after launch without having to let go of the paraglider’s
control handles.
