Harness User’s manual | DELIGHT3
Welcome to the world of light and high performance gear! The DELIGHT3 is a Cross-country
lightenough to go hiking with. Its minimal weight and size make it a good choice to carry to takeoff
with ease. The air mass is translated to the harness without parasitic interference and hence provid-
ing the right environment for refined and efficient piloting.
It was designed with schooling and fun in mind to provide full comfort and a worry free learning
curve.
The DELIGHT3 harness was certified EN 1651: 1999 and LTF Nfl II 91/09.
Indicating that it meets European and German safety requirements.
After reading this manual, we suggest you to check your harness in static hang-posts to adjust it
before your first flight.
