Big Ears System
The BIBETA 4 has split A-risers, which make the application of big
ears easy. A cleat (Vary-Grip-System) makes it possible to fix the
outer A-lines so that they can be held in for an extended period.
(see point Riser Illustration). The lines can be brought in as far as
the marks, and fixed again in the cleats. With big ears applied the gli-
der can be steered in the normal way with brakes.
Fitting the Spreaders
The BIBETA 4 comes with hard, soft or soft adjustable spreaders.
The hard spreaders hold a spread distance of 27 cm. The passen-
ger can be suspended from two different positions. The reserve brid-
le runs above the pilot’s own spreader arm and is fixed in the middle
of the support, next to the main glider suspension point.
The soft spreaders have a length of 70 cm. There are three possib-
le positions to which to connect the paraglider riser. The reserve brid-
le runs underneath the pilot’s spreader arm and is fixed on the loop
provided.
The soft adjustable spreaders have a length of 70 cm. There are two
different positions to which to connect the paraglider riser. There is
a spring-loaded cleat (see point Riser Illustration) on the pilot’s
spreader arm, which allow him to adjust the support height to suit the
passenger size. The reserve bridle runs underneath the pilot’s sprea-
der arm and is fixed on the loop provided.
Tip: The soft adjustable spreaders can be adjusted to any
position to suit the passenger size. If you have trouble short-
ening them in flight: you can pull the straps down with the
loops bit by bit, alternating left and right, and weight-shifting
to the opposite sides, thus reducing the force required.
Suitable harnesses
The ADVANCE BIBETA 4 is certified for harnesses in group GH (wi-
th-out rigid cross-bracing - see the «Certification» section). The sus-
pension points of the chosen harness should ideally match the pilot’s
shoulder width as well as a height of 40 to 45 cm.
The BIBETA 4 is neither suitable nor approved for harnesses in the
GX group (with active cross-bracing). The use of this type of harness
may have a detrimental effect on the handling and extreme flight cha-
racteristics.
