We just had a bad accident up here that likely wouldn't have been as bad had the airplane been outfitted with shoulder harnesses. All he had was a lap belt.
It got me thinking about our Cessna 180. We have hooker harnesses in them which I think would do a great job, however we can not wear them tight during take off and landing (which is the only time people crash) because you cannot lean forward to reach the flap handle so we're almost all the time flying around with our inside should strap lose enough to reach the handle. Well, you may not even be wearing one if you flip over.
What are the 180 cognoscenti (word of the week now) using?
the "EZ Flap handle" or just going to inertia harnesses?
Ours are not on inertia reels.
Do the people who have the EZ Flap Handle like it?
We also need to get the seat stop deal Cessna was giving out a few years back.
Thanks,
