Which is better, high hang points or low hang points?
It depends on user preference. Proponents of low hang points say it’s more like a free flight (unpowered) harness, and this is only somewhat true–having to balance 45+ pounds of motor/fuel will never allow it to be very much like free-flight. Some say that low hang points allow more weight shift control, and this may be true, but weightshift ability is more a matter of the relative position of the hang points and the machine/pilot’s center of gravity (CG). Machines with high hook-in points and vertically swiveling arms (up and down movement) are designed for weight shift and probably have about the same amount as low hook-in machines designed for weight shift. High hang points tend to provide a more “stable” feel and less balance issues, possibly at the expense of ease launching. Those with swiveling arms (for weight shift) give up some of that stable feel. If you are considering a machine with low hangpoints, you need to be sure your bodyweight and the weight of the motor unit are co
