  • Page 1 Please read this manual before flying with the PASSENGER for the first time.
  • Page 2 Adjusting the harness. The harness forms the connection between the pilot and the passenger, and it is an essential component in optimizing the passenger’s pleasure during flight. We are conscious of the fact that reading an instruction manual is not an exciting experience. However, please remember that the respective product is not a citrus juicer or a mobile phone, and that correct use of the harness helps reduce the risk of flying accidents.

    2.1.2- Back position adjustment By adjusting the back (using the trimmers higher up on the side), the pilot adjusts the inclination of the torso with respect to the vertical axis in flight. A good flying position, improving control of the glider, is obtained by positioning the face at about 15 cm from an imaginary line between the two karabiners. 2.1.3- Shoulder-strap adjustment Shoulder-strap adjustment enables the harness to be adjusted to the pilot’s height.
