2) Side Adjustment
An excessively reclined position reduces stability
and increases the risk of risers twisting in the
event of a spin.

3) Shoulder Strap Adjustment

For optimum comfort during take-off and ease
of achieving your preferred flying position
the shoulder straps should not be excessively
tight. The straps may appear loose while in the
seated position but some play is required
to avoid excessive strap pressure in the standing
position.
4) Chest Strap Adjustment
Tightening the chest strap increases
the efficiency of the Auto Balance System
(stabilising system) but decreases the roll
response of the wing. The pilot may feel more
stable in turbulent conditions and the wing will
be more stable in the event of an asymmetric
collapse. However, the wing may be less
inclined to bank when turning. The design
of the integrated Auto Balance System
in the SKYLIGHTER 2 means that the range
of stabilization in the chest strap remains
reasonable.
SKYLIGHTER 2 is suited to pilots who fly using
the weight-shift method.
Warning: The chest strap adjustment can be
quite sensitive and it is best to test first under
a static swing, and then in still air flight, before
trying to adjust it during a turbulent flight. Before
taking off, do not forget to pre-adjust your chest
strap. This will result in a more comfortable flight.
