Shoulder Harness Choices

Post by Ebby »

Hello Group!

I welded all the attach points for shoulder harnesses and seat belts according to the classic plans. I added a structures behind the front and rear pits to raise the shoulder straps above the shoulder. It looks like the framework of a childs swing set. I got a sheet from Hooker Harness that I am supposed to fill in with measurements. In the interest of saving some time, can a member please recommend a 'stock' harness set that will work with the Hatz Classic without me having to take custom measurements? I did notice Aircraft Spruce sells sets. Has anyone used those as they come from ACS without having to modify them?

Winter's coming and I want to start assembling the fuselage so I may cover this spring. Thanks.
