Flying with a seatplate provides a more rigid base and more efficient weight shifts. The harness gives more information and is more precise.
The harness will also be easier to manage in case of flight envelope exit. The seatplate also contributes to a more comfortable seat without side
compression.
Flying without the seatplate makes the seat soft and slightly raises the attachment points. The harness is therefore more neutral in feel and more
stable. Without the seatplate, the pelvis is more stable.
Note that if the glider is out of its flight envelope, the precision of the control system must compensate for the lack of support and precision provided
by the seatplate.
The DELIGHT 4 SPORT harness can be used with and without seatplate
