I have decided to go with rotary style seatbelt/shoulder harness set up. I’ve been on the numerous websites that offer them, any personal experience and recommendations on brand would be much appreciated.
Thanks. Scott
I the unfortunate event of an off-airport landing, the crotch strap will also counteract the tendency for people to "submarine" under their waist belt and end up packed into the footwell. Belts with shoulder straps alone will get pulled up the torso by the shoulder straps as the body moves forward, leaving a rather large space underneath to pass through unless it's tied down.I did remove both crotch straps since I found them to be kind of a pain, and I don't do aerobatics in my RV-9A. That seemed better at first, but I have since re-thought and will re-install the crotch straps next time I have the floor out. The crotch strap helps keep the belt lower, across the hips, and more out of the way, which IMHO outweighs the cumbersome-ness of buckling that strap.[/COLOR]
