Harnesses

The next cub coaching meeting will be held (as always) at Glynde Social Club on August 28th at 7.30pm. The topic will be harnesses, and Tim King has kindly agreed to give a talk and guidance on the subject.

This will be a great chance for us all to understand more about how to set up a harness properly, what harness is best for the wing we fly, how each harness affects the performance of our wing and so on.

You will be more than welcome to bring your harness along to get help in setting it up properly and have it looked at by someone who knows what they are talking about.

I believe most of us spend lots of time agonising over what wing to get next and may try many before we commit, but often neglect to consider what's happening at the other end, how much does you harness affect the performance of your flying machine for instance.

Tim will be bringing along a range of various harnesses for us to look at so the differences can be discussed.
This will also be a great opportunity to discuss the recent scary subject of the breaking karabiners and what we can do to reduce the risk.

All members will be most welcome, especially the lower airtimers, I for one am looking forward to learning as much as I can.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Dave Nickels.
