PSF SYSTEM - High hang point
In 1996 Per il Volo invented and produced the first harness attachment system to feature high hook-in points with low J-bars, he called it the PSF system.
Today its appreciated as the industry standard and most often copied by other manufacturers worldwide. Beware of Imitations!
ABM SYSTEM - Mid pivot arms
First developed in 2007, the ABM model utilises, mid hang point pivot arms, this allowed the pilot to keep an excellent level of inherent stability whilst allowing active weight shift input to control the glider. Since then, the frame has gone through an evolution to the latest model, the 2016 frame. It combines a superb, lightweight frame with the same active feedback loved by Miniplane pilots all over the world.
Over the years the frames have developed and evolved and as such there are quite a few variations out there. In order to order the correct parts for your machine you need to know which type you have. Have a look at the factory website here for more info on how to ID your unit. Frame type.
Here's how to set up your harness on the Miniplane frame
Here is a link to the maintenance schedule of the Top 80
Use good quality fully synthetic 2 stroke oil such as Castrol Power 1 2T at a ratio of 1.65% which is 82.5ml of oil to 5l of premium unleaded petrol. Always try and use premium fuel, it contains less ethanol which can cause problems eroding rubber gaskets. Don't use more oil, thinking it will be better than less - The opposite is actually true!
