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 (ABS,
i.e. 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 ABS in the GII 2 means that the
range of stabilisation in the chest strap remains
reasonable.
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.
