Thus, this region should be avoided as the main control area
and in harnesses with low suspension or with very tall pilots this
is achieved by elongation of steering lines. Since not enough
distance is available above the shoulder (region of pull), the
brake zone must be shifted into the pressure zone (region of
push).
Pilots who are smaller or whose harness is attached at a higher
level, usually have the choice, following their own inclination, to
retain the brakes at their shortest position and to control within the
region of pull (above the shoulders) or to adjust the brakes to a
significantly longer position and to steer within the lower arm
position below the chest.
The brake distance must in any case allow the ARCANE to be
stalled upon landing without taking wraps. This can also happen
dynamically (while taking advantage of the pendulum effect).
Coiling the steering lines around the hands is not recommended
since the pilot's ability to interpret the stall point is lost (shifting of
reference point), the blood flow to the hands is blocked off and in
the case of having to use the safety chute the throwing hand is
simply tied.
If you wish for a tighter connection to the toggle you should better
use the "ski-stick" method (slide the hand through the toggle with
palms up and grab toggle from behind at the D-ring).
A carefully adjusted brake enables you to fly without exhausting
yourself and with complete canopy control in all situations -
without taking wraps! The adjustment made by the manufacturer
(at the marks) is only to be seen as a starting point from which the
brakes may be lengthened if required in small steps of about 2
cm until the optimal position has been reached. Please check for
symmetrical adjustment of left and right steering lines!
For fixing the toggle a permanent knot is required, best suited is
