Page 18: Flight Behaviour
Flight behaviour The DELIGHT has equipped several X-ALPS 2011 pilots. It is consequently a high performance har- ness designed for XC flights, for competitions as well for bivy-flying adventures. But it is also aimed at “hike and fly” or high-mountain flying. -
Page 19: Pre-Flight Control
Pre-Flight control • Check that the harness and the carabiners did not deteriorate. • Check thoroughly that the rescue handle’s cable end has not got outside the snappers’ flaps. • Check that your personal settings haven’t changed. • Check that all zippers and buckles are closed. • Check that the speedbar is correctly connected and set. -
Page 20: Take-Off
Take-off After being correctly fitted into your harness, fasten the left buckle (1, on braided rope) of the speedbag then fasten the second speedbag buckle (2). During take-off, maintain a standing position and as soon as you are far enough from the ground, fetch the speedbag with one of your heels. -
Page 21: In Flight
In flight As soon as you are airborne, the behaviour is very instinctive and precise. Please set the distance between the two carabiners according to aerology and to wing’s manufacturer recommendations. Tightening provides more stability but less harness piloting efficiency. Be careful as it increas- es the risk of risers twisting. -
Page 22: Landing
Landing In order to land, during the approach, take your legs out of the speedbag in plenty of time. Stand up inside the harness and adopt an upright position in order to run to dissipate hori- zontal speed. Do not land whilst in the seated position, this is dangerous. Throwing the reserve parachute We strongly advise you to check frequently the location of the reserve parachute’s handle. -

Page 24: Wash And Care Of Your Harness
Care Wash and care of your harness It is a good idea to wash your harness from time to time. To do this, we recommend to use a soft solvent (such as soap), use a brush and rinse thoroughly. In any case, do not use chemicals such as detergents or strong solvent because it may deteriorate the webbing, stitching and fabrics of your harness. -
