Leg straps adjustment
The leg straps should be adjusted to a sensible length which allows
easy movement during takeoff. This helps with a safe takeoff, and
makes sure that you can easily get into your comfortable position
when clear of the ground. Shortening or lengthening the leg straps
has no effect on weight steering.
Chest strap adjustment
The chest strap is used to change the distance between the carabi-
ners. The ADVANCE development team recommend the ideal setting
as “a good shoulder width” of about 47 cm. The range available is 42
to 51 cm, measured between carabiner centres. The chest strap is
secured with the automatic quick-release buckles and these make up
the Safe-T-System.
The wider the chest strap the more agile the seat. A narrow setting
results in quiet and damped flying sensations. The adjustment ran-
ge provided by the efficient diagonal tapes is very large. Harness agi-
lity can be changed to any setting to suit the conditions, as the pi-
lot prefers.
Caution: Make sure you do up the buckles properly!
Tip: The most important thing about setting the chest strap is
that you feel happy in your harness.
Back straps adjustment
The relatively high back straps give good back support and take
pressure off the shoulders. The back straps also set the recline angle
quickly and easily during flight.
Pulled-in back straps result in an upright, neutral position. Complete
loosening of these straps puts the pilot in a less upright attitude.
Hip straps adjustment
The hip straps can be set to any desired position. They minimise un-
helpful back fatigue.
For an upright, neutral position the hip straps should be fully loo-
sened. If a less upright sitting attitude is favoured the hip straps
should be lightly tensioned to give the best hip support.
