Harness User’s manual Flight behavior The transition from running to seating is made easy after takeoff due the centered geometry of the harness. Once airborne, weigh-shifting piloting becomes efficient, intuitive and comfor- table while remaining simple to adapt to in all circumstances. To discover your new harness, we will recommend making your first flights on a school training hill in calm weather conditions with low wind speeds.
Harness User’s manual Flight phases Pre-Flight control. • Inspect the harness and the carabiners for possible wear and tear. • Be certain for the handle cables to be securely fastened in place inside their respective reserve parachute pocket housings. • Check that your personal settings have not changed.
Harness User’s manual Flight phases In flight. Set the distance between the two carabiners according to the aerology of the moment, and the wing manufacturer’s recom- mendations. Speedbar use. We recommend using the speed-bar cautiously due to the increased risk of a partial or full frontal collapses. Use the speed-bar/accelerator ( transitions ) only when far away from the ridge and in calm weather conditions as the wing becomes more sensitive to turbulence when accelerated.
Harness User’s manual Using the reserve parachute Throwing the reserve parachute. It is strongly recommended to frequently check your reserve parachute handle location while in flight. This exercise should be executed instinctively and will increase your chances of a successful parachute extraction in case of an emergency. Estimate your AGL ( Altitude Above Ground Level ) which if high enough may make it worth trying to bring your wing back to a normal flying configuration.
Harness User’s manual Care Harness cleaning and maintenance. It is a good idea to clean your harness from time to time. We recommend using a brush and soft solvents only ( soap or mild cleaning agents ). Rinse thoroughly. Never use aggressive chemicals such as strong solvents which could be harmful to the fabric, webbings, stitching and weaken the overall integrity of the harness.
