Jean-Luc's new MAGUS --  photo Simon Gant

Jean-Luc Boudin Has a good day out!!

Having spent the last few weeks finding out what all the bits of string  are for, the 4th of June sees the first decent day to coincide with his time off since Jean-Luc took delivery of his shiny new MAGUS proto. 4 hours + and 91.5 km. later and he's looking for a lift home from York!
Friday 4th July sees another reasonable slot of weather and a flight to Rippon from Eyam Edge.

  Our New Speed-Wing The Whistler
The Whistler is a glider specifically designed for the new winter sport of speed-flying with skis.  A number of prototypes in different sizes were tested during last winter with excellent feedback from the pilots. After extensive testing we have achieved our goals of simplicity and durability for our new speed riding glider. We have designed a glider which is uncomplicated and easy to handle.  The Whistler’s brake range is long. To slow down or increase the glide you simply add brake. With hands-up the Whistler is fast enough!

The Whistler is available in sizes 16; 14; 12 and 11.  The 14m2 and 16 m2 sizes are for light or heavy beginners. The 12 m2 size is for very experienced pilots. The 11 m2 size is intended only for very light, experienced pilots and for experts. The Whistler can be delivered complete with a harness and rucksack.

We strongly recommend learning to speed-fly in an established speed-flying school which has areas specifically set aside for this new sport. Please remember that practicing on ski slopes is forbidden

MAC VELVET
Semi-reflex Paramotor wing

The Velvet is the latest paramotoring wing from MAC PARA. Designed for a wide range of intermediate and advanced paramotoring pilots, it completes the range in-between the Eden 3 and the Spice. Semi-reflex airfoils warranty good stability and a wide range of cruising speed. Launching characteristics are typical of all MAC PARA gliders. The R&D team paid extra attention to the handling of the glider during take off and to the landing flare. The Velvet will be available in three sizes - 23,26 and 29 from January 2008.
