I picked up my new Rotor harness this weekend and am extremely happy with the workmanship and sleek profile. Checking each measurement 1/2 a dozen times prior to sending in the order form really paid off. Right out of the bag, the harness fit superbly and is surprisingly lighter than my Z5 harness...
So far I've only hung in the garage as I had to do some minor tweaks to make it just right...
I cut up an old inner tube for my mountain bike to cleanup the hang strap / carabiner connection...
Then I added a little loop on one of the storage container zippers to keep the carabiner from dangling behind me...
The only adjustment I had to make was to let out about 1-inch on the leg straps so I could easily buckle them into place while putting on the harness...
I have plenty of room in the boot location for the shoes I normally wear and the length of the harness is perfect for getting the slider pulled back with my heels...
I'm getting used to the butt-lever pitch adjustment, as well. I had to bend the butt-lever a little more flat as I was pressing against it all the time...now it is adjusted perfectly. I think I'll really appreciate the ability to play with pitch adjustment while flying.
I'll need to readjust my landing approaches with this harness at first to get the feel of the mechanics in getting upright and so forth. I think in a short period of time, though, I'll become accustomed to the higher performance characteristics this harness has to offer...
You can order the Rotor with a "Tight/Comp" fit option or "Loose/Normal" fit option. I chose the "Loose/Normal" fit and find the harness is perfectly snug with the typical flying clothes I wear. Since ordering the harness, I've gained about 8 lbs, so the Rotor will accommodate my usual weight fluctuation that occurs between hitting the gym hard and my Thanksgiving through Christmas gluttony...
Total cost, including new Lara Gold 175 chute...$2272.00.
I'll post a "flight report" when I actually try this thing in the air...
