Thanks to everyone that replied on list and off about seat belts/harnesses.
It seems the first choice amongst acrobatically enthused is the Hooker
Harness. And Hooker is said by some to be proud of their product (I guess
that means higher price). Gus at Vans said the lower costing Tuf Tow
harness looks like the standard they carry but the Tuf Tow cannot be used
with the crotch belt option. Seems just about everyone who wrote either
uses or advised using the crotch belt for added safety. Would anyone with
pictures on how to anchor the crotch belt please post a reference?
Is anyone one using or happy with Simpson Harness?
do not archive
Indiana Larry, RV7. Tip-up. TMX-O-360 is on the delivery truck and Mattituck
did one great job on a new gold and black engine.
Prepping for painting.
Base Color is Viper Racing Yellow w/green stripe maybe.

Larry
I don't have decent photos to pass on to the photoshare, but I found Van's
kit for the crotch belt anchor well documented and not difficult to install
on my non-aerobatic RV-9A. It will be somewhat easier to install while you
are still in the building phase.
