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

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
