Mount Caburn
Was the venue for my first post lockdown flight, and I arrived late out of design and necessity. The latter being due to work, and the prior because I wanted a quiet first go on my new harness. A quick hike up to the top and I launched just before 7pm, with only Carlo, Nancy and one other up there.
I found the hammock style harness.... different. More easy to weight shift I think, and more reclined. Nice and comfy on a quiet ridge soaring evening, but I’ll need some good thermic flights to get used to it properly.
6 mins of Caburn ridge soaring and a flight down were really enjoyable after my enforced layoff, so here’s hoping for some stability during the rest of 2020.

Hello Mike. How do you like the new harness. Did you manage to sit more upright in it. I usually fly upright as my neck gets sore after a few hours. Any more thoughts as I am changing from a regular harness. Thank you so much for your time. Love you videos. Keep up the good work and flying. Frank Manning. Ireland

Very kind Frank. I also prefer upright but fine the harness quite comfortable. I’ve done a few UK XC’s in it over the last year but nothing too feisty to date. It’ll be interesting to see how I get on with it in Piedrahita soon. If it’s your first pod I’d go for one with a seat plate or mini seat plate for better control in rough stuff.

Thanks I’m in the same boat and hoping to try my lightness 3 soon. Useful to see your thought. Thanks!

Life of Kai I’m happy with the harness after four flights in spring thermals. About 3.5 hours. Also done 3 hours of cliff flying on it in laminar air. Different from my Gin Genie Light 2 as it feels sporty but comfy and no drama. No SIV on it yet , so I’ll reserve judgment on asymmetrics until then, or until I want to play at Base. 😀
