Thanks for the info Oscar. Not sure the method used on 41CC is "better than nothing", but that's why they call our airplanes "Experimental". If you and your passenger are happy with it, thats all that matters. We all get to build them the way we want. I really like Dan's idea. No since reinventing the wheel when someone has already came up with a safe way to install a shoulder harness.GenePS Not sure what "we put men on the moon using only sliderules, pencils and paper" has to do with it, but remember, we also blew up a lot of rockets (and some people) with dumb mistakes. We need to learn from our errors.----- Original Message -----
