:) Yes, it is very different. It is actually not so pleasant - lots of different feedback due to the difference in the CG of the normal flying position. The trim position of the base bar is around your nipples. ;) Not very comfortable to fly there and you have to be careful in not push the bar forward to your normal chin or so position while flying. The nipple position (bar sits at trim across the middle of your chest) is not so comfortable. And then the weight on your feet also give different feedback to normal flying. All things considered, I do not like it. Perhaps the light weight E-help systems might be a bit better. :) Hope that helps. (IF it was really that good and comfortable everybody would be using them) ;)
