A little of Dustin's history with harnesses
First Wills Wing was the US distributor for Rotor, but it was
difficult to communicate with Nene Rotor in Brazil (language issues, for one). I
purchased a Rotor harness during that time. Loved it and still have it.
Then Jeff Shapiro designed the Covert to be the next step and worked with Wills
Wing to represent the Covert. Dustin at times worked for Jeff in Montana at
Jeff's house producing Coverts.
Then Wills Wing took over Covert production when Jeff wanted his life back and
Dustin worked at times at Wills in California producing some Coverts.
I purchased an original Covert from Jeff and then had it upgraded by Wills and
Dustin to the latest version when Dustin came up with some new ideas to lighten
the harness. I sent my carbon fiber back plate with Steve Pearson back to Wills
and it was used on my latest Covert. You'll see Zac, Wolfi and Larry Bunner as
well as others flying them
Now, with Wills apparently unable to get American made carbon fiber back plates
at prices that compare with those produced overseas, they are not in a position
to produce new Coverts (but continue to support pilots who have them) Dustin is
free to use his Portuguese language skills to professionalize the connection
between Brazil and the US with respect to harness distribution.
Anyway, that is the story as I can construct it.
