Dear Artur, it was great meeting and talking to you last week. As i told you i would really enjoy to test fly the supine setup. Tell me when it is possible. Best, Ralf

[@donindri]

We used to call this suprone because supine is when your legs are under the base tube.

Fliege schon ein paar Jahre suprone mit dem Atos.Wer hat die Aufhängung gebaut?Der Finsterwalder Spreader hängt zu tief!Ich fliege allerdings mit der Speedbar von Jim Fenison und lande sitzend!

ASPeopleCanFly,is it possible tu buy this spreader?Sorry,i come from austria....

[@ASPeopleCanFly]

Hi. I still working on it. I already made another prototype and I'm waiting for spring to make test flights. New supine hange will fit to both keal alu and full carbon. Also I work on web page where I will introduce my project to show more details. Austria is not a problem. My second home is close to Austria border ;). I will be in touch to inform You.

I need this for my hang glider!!

[@ASPeopleCanFly]

I can made something for You... what kind of keel do you have ?

[@cloudstreets1396]

How much more drag is it flying in this position? Is it noticeable?

[@halsmith5034]

Supine looks cooler and cooler to me; especially on an ATOS where the steering is so easy. One question I gotta ask though, how do you work the flaps? Can you reach the flap cord in that supine setup? Looks almost like you'd have to inadvertently dive the glider to reach it. Well, nevermind. Watched end of the video and see where you grab the flap rope. Nice!

[@ASPeopleCanFly]

Hi... nice to hear it... I moved the clamp to the down tube on the comfortable position to grab. In this way opening flaps is ewen easier because rope friction is reduce :)

[@DM-MCMLVI]

Pitch must be really sensitive, so high above the base tube.

[@anterokan]

Woww! Thaks for sharing this!

[@jrfsailing07]

Hello, what kind of harness are using? Thx

[@ASPeopleCanFly]

Hi... I don't know. I just borrowed from my friend don't thinking about this to mich. Bat I was flying on another one more comfortable and behavior of glider was the same.

[@ASPeopleCanFly]

[@williampain5750]

How do you find the take off and landing in that harness. Looks a bit cramped?

[@ASPeopleCanFly]

I was realy suprised after first fly how easy it is... my opinon even easyer than tipical hanggliding harnes :)
