KR>Re: seat belts

Yes,the latch systems on the Crow harnesses are a bit heavier than some of the other restraint systems. I used a lighter system in my KR simply because it was an unfinished project when I bought it and the belts came with the project. I don't recall the brand, but I liked them. The Crow harne

This is true, though it has never made sense to me. Because flying is so much more dangerous than racing? I used to race. Though there are some, the vast majority of the pilots I know have never crashed, never had an emergency landing. But every racer I know has crashed at least once. Just sayi

No doubt those are just fine. One word of caution most old hands already know, when/if they ask what vehicle you are installing in, you need to tell them it's a home built off road buggy or some such thing. If you mention airplane, it will be a very short conversation and they will not sell it

Thanks to those that responded with seat belt info.  Nothing really wrong with mine, other than the A.D. that just surfaced, but my lap belt has only one side that is adjustable length and that limits the length.  Enough suggestions that I'll be able to find a set under my $150 target. I was

I use 5 point Crow harnesses in both of my planes. Quality harnesses at a reasonable price. Although unlike Mark, I have never actually dynamically tested them. :o) Just do a google search for crow safety belts. Prices start around $130. I removed and sold the Hooker harnesses out of the RV
