Hi Duncan,
The inversion was generally no more than 2,000 ft and the cloud was either
broken or scattered all the way, so I flew VMC at 3,000 in crystal clear air
and
in sight of the ground, although murky, all the way.
Best wishes,
William

The two FAA Advisory Circulars which pertain to the installation of
seat belts and shoulder straps are AC21-34 and AC43-12.2A. They can be
downloaded from the FAA website. If you have trouble finding them or
downloading them, let me know and I can e-mail copies of them to you.
Happy building and good flying,

I think the Liberty have solved this issue by (from what I can see from the
photos) raising the height of the 'headrest'. But then it has a higher roof
line too, and raising the headrests would not interfere so much with loading
baggage, as it would on the homebuilt version.
Still can't see why the exiting headrest could not be extended with a stout
triangulated pylon over which the shoulder harness could be routed. I
suppose the whole lot would then need load testing, but I'm not offering
mine for this!!

Exactly,
I had 3 wedge fractures in my lower back, also a torn diaphragm. Any more G
and the straps would have killed me! Fortunately the paramedic chopper was
already airborne and 10 minutes away so I got to the table within the hour.
Most bits they glued back on work again, {;-)
Also fortunately Ivan designed just enough strength in the airplane to keep
the G within that narrow band that made an unsurviveable accident surviveable.
Graham,
