Is it possible to retrofit a crotch strap to an RV3A? I?m used to a fifth strap and my head is quite close to the canopy.

Make the strap wide enough to catch two rows of rivets starting at the point where the crotch strap would be and long enough to go back to the front baggage bulkhead. You could catch a bunch of rivets off the seat pan that way and I think It would be plenty strong for a crotch strap attach point.
While it could handle the forward part of the load, the upward part of the load could cause it to unzip. It should be tied into some of the bulkheads/ribs under the seat.
