Page 26: Take-Off
Take-off. Takeoff is simple and straight forward. The transition from running to seating is easy. If a bit more demanding then, raise your knees and push with your shoulders against the risers while wiggling your waist to help your body slide into the bottom of the seat. It is also possible when setting up, to tighten the leg straps slightly more to prevent them from riding up along your thighs while running. - Page 27 In flight. Set the distance between the two carabiners according to the aerolo- gy and the manufacturer’s recommendations. The average distance / spac- ing for most gliders from the center of the right carabiner to the center of the left carabiner where the risers connect, is between 36 cm and 45 cm. Tightening the chest strap provides more stability but less harness piloting efficiency.
