Using the seat-plate. :

Seatplate description. :

Front

Rear

1. Open the zip-

per of the pocket

located beneath

and at the front of

the seat.

2. Open the

velcro located

at the top of

the pocket and

access the seat-

plate compart-

ment.

3. Insert the

seatplate in its

compartment

and close the

velcro.

Flying with the plate gives a tighter seating posture and transfers the wing’s imputs more precisely. The seatplate equally contributes

to heightened overall comfort without lateral hip pressure.

Flying without the seatplate brings a more ﬂexible seating area following the pilot’s body shape while slightly rising the carabiners at-

tachment points. The harness is slightly more neutral and overall stable. Without the seatplate the harness feels tighter.

Note that in case of a situation beyond the wing’s safety limitations, toggle control must compensate for the lack of pressure and preci-

sion given by a seatplate.

Installing the seatplate. :

MINI carbon ﬁber seatplate 30x 22cm

The STRIKE can be used with or without the carbon ﬁber seatplate.
