I have a lot of your great products, care to share your idea, :rolleyes: got us wondering now, are the anchor point geometries inadequate?

...Absolutely not! They are exactly where they should be to do the job they were designed to do.
What I have in mind will have them doing double duty if you will, without effecting their original
design in any way. I will post something soon with more information. Thanks, Allan..:D

In the RV7 vs RV9 debate, have you considered the RV14? It perhaps gives you the best of both worlds?

It helps if you read the manual:

Touche, Bill. I read and read and did not see that information.

I have, but you have to stop spending somewhere.

I certainly understand that. I am trying to decide between the 7,9, and 14. I am leaning towards the 14, but as of yet, still undecided. It is a large commitment of time and money and I would like to be confident in my decision. And also my wife says I suffer from analysis paralysis, and yep, I believe she is right!

In my case both instances were with a 4 point harness. That is just one of the reasons I am a big advocate of 5 point harnesses in RV's

Adding the 5th point and adjusting its belt properly pretty much eliminates any vertical movement, so short of doing neg. G aerobatics, I don't see why anyone would need to add modifications to the belt system.

BTW, no one should be doing neg G without a secondary belt anyway.

Stein would be happy if you can stop spending at SteinAir.

You better get started tomorrow, that illness will add at least 4 years to your build! :D
