Suitable harnesses
The ADVANCE EPSILON 6 is certified for harnesses in Group GH
(without rigid cross-bracing - see section «Certification»). The
suspension points of the chosen harness should ideally have a cara-
biner distance of approximately 45 cm (just about equivalent to your
shoulder width) and a height of 40 to 48 cm.
The EPSILON 6 is neither suitable nor certified for use with harnesses
in group GX (with effective cross-bracing). The use of such harnesses
can have a bad effect on both handling and extreme flight character-
istics.
Weight range
The weight ranges of the different sizes are given in the section
«Technical data». The figures given there represent the total in-flight
weights. This includes the pilot’s body weight, plus clothes, as well
as the weight of all the equipment (glider, reserve, harness, instru-
ments etc.).
Flying at the lower or upper limits of the weight range will have an
effect on the paraglider’s flying behaviour, without, however, affecting
the pilot’s safety.
The EPSILON 6’s performance and handling qualities vary only a little
over the whole weight range.
