I'm looking for a 5-point harness to replace my current 4-point, which is not doing a very good job of holding me in place. I just started aerobatic instructions last week and have a bruise on my left upper arm from hitting against the side and my head is hitting the canopy.
What are my options? Should I just ditch the current harness and buy a 5-point? (with ratcheting lap belt?) Or can I add a crotch strap to my existing harness and maybe a secondary lap belt also (either ratcheting or non-ratcheting)?
Maybe something like this? http://silverparachutes.com/acrobelt/
My other problem is that I'm spilling a ridiculous amount of oil all over the belly of my plane after each session. I'd like to get the Raven 1/2 Kit, but am not familiar enough to know if it's something I can install by myself. I used to work on cars when I was younger so I'm half decent with tools, but have no experience with aircraft. If anyone has some tips, I'd really appreciate it! Or let me look at your set-up if you're in Socal. Thanks!
