We wish him Good-Luck on his next outings at the French Open in the Pyrenees and at the British Open

Flying MAC for the first time this year will be Chris Harland.
Chris is flying a Magus 6 and has won his first "B" comp already - Congratulations Chris


2008 British Champion Craig Morgan will again be flying MAC for the coming year. He has a new MAGUS 6 proto and has just taken delivery of a new Hawaii race harness. We wish Craig good luck for his first outing at the PWC in Brazil


We now have PPG versions of both the PROGRESS and the EDEN-4. Early reports on both these wings are very complimentary. Ready in April
The Progress PPG has plenty of performance while being very easy and forgiving for beginners and low airtime pilots.
The EDEN-4 PPG has great performance for the more experienced.


Congratulations to Helen Gant on winning the women's section of the UK paragliding XC league 2008. Helen is a member of Derbyshire Soaring Club and was flying a MAGUS XC

Good Luck to Helen for the coming season.

We are pleased to announce two new wings which will be available in early 2009. A brand new wing The PROGRESS - designed primarily for use in schools or by pilots who want a lower performance wing with easy handling, and a completely redesigned EDEN-4.

Our Speed-Flying wing has been completely updated for the 2009 season
The WHISTLER 2 has improved stability and
we have achieved our goals of simplicity and durability


                      The Magus 6 is now available             ----       What Jean-Luc had to say:::::
VERY nice.. Can I have one?? Oh hang on.. got one already  :)
My view on the Magus 6
I'm just an ordinary, not so young anymore, guy and pilot with too many kids, wives and work, so competitions are a bit out of the window for me :-(.
That doesn't mean I’m not competitive! I was lucky enough to receive my MAGUS 6 proto late spring and after taking a bit of time to get acquainted and "learn" the glider's potential, I started to really relax and enjoy that fantastic machine. THANKS' Mac for letting me have one.
Flying conditions in the UK, this year, have been "below par" to say the least, BUT after doing a few short (training) XC's in late spring i just started to do 100km flights one after another, including the longest flight (so far) 134.2km under a difficult sky beating even the "southerners", a week later another 100km+ (longest of the day again. If I had logged my flights in the UK XC league I would be in second place(558.4km in 6 flights) with still a chance to reach top place. All that without even trying.
I have been flying different versions of the Magus since it was introduced and the MAGUS 6 has everything, turns on a penny, superb sink rate, speed AND stability, WOW-GLIDE :-).All you've got to do is relax and let it fly and show you where the lift is.  ----- Thanks’ AGAIN Mac... It just gets better and better
