and sitting position. The buckles are at shoulder height, and can eas-
ily be adjusted to any position. The ideal setting allows about 5 cm
space between strap and shoulder.
Info: When the shoulder straps are correctly set you will
be more relaxed in flight and will not feel pressure on the
shoulders.
Chest strap adjustment
3
The chest strap is used to change the distance between the carabi-
ners. The ADVANCE development team recommend the ideal setting
as "a good shoulder width" of about 47 cm. The range available is 42
to 54 cm, measured between carabiner centres. The chest strap is
secured with the automatic quick-release buckles and these make up
the Safe-T-System.
The wider the chest strap the more agile the seat, and therefore the
more effective will be steering by weightshift. A narrow setting results
in a quiet and damped feeling from the wing. The adjustment range
is very large and the harness agility can be changed to any setting to
suit the conditions, as the pilot prefers.
