  • Page 3: General

    The Magus XC2 must not be used in high or gusty winds. The Magus XC2 must not be used in cloud and fog. The Magus XC2 must not be used by pilots without sufficient knowledge or experience.

  • Page 4: Overall Plan

    The Magus XC2 has been tested by certification laboratory European Para Academy to LTF/EN-D category. The Magus XC2 is certified for solo flight. The Magus XC2 has been load and shock-tested and passed with a load corresponding to 8G of the maximum weight in flight 137 kg.

  • Page 5: Technical Description

    The canopy of the MAGUS XC2 consists of 77 cells over the wingspan. The wingtips are slightly pulled down and this produces a kind of stabilizer. The Magus XC2 is a third rib diagonal-construction paraglider. Every third main rib is attached to the 3 or 4 suspension lines.
  • Page 6 The Magus XC2 is equipped with 4 risers per side (A, A1, B, C). The two central A-lines per side are attached to the main A-risers while outermost A main lines are attached to A1 risers.

    * Pilot + approx. 17 to 20kg of equipment (including wing) HARNESS The Magus XC2 is certified with LTF GH type certified harnesses. Nearly all harnesses available on the market are „GH“. These “GH“harnesses are different to “GX“ harnesses, which have a lower attachment point for the main karabiners and effective cross bracing.

  • Page 10: Check On A New Paraglider

    FLYING THE MAGUS XC2 The following information must not under any circumstances be taken as a manual for practising paragliding. We would like to advise you of the Magus XC2‘s features and important information for your flying and security.
  • Page 11 (&( Also check the maillons connecting the lines and the risers. They have to be closed tight. Put on the harness with maximum care and check the handle of the safety system and that all the flaps of the outer container are fastened securely and correctly. The main karabiner must also be checked carefully.
  • Page 12 Check carefully that they are closed properly. Launch The Magus XC2 is very easy to launch. This is possible in almost all wind conditions except strong headwinds. Before take off recheck the canopy, the direction of the wind and the air space around you! When the pilot is ready to take off he/she holds all A- risers and the brake handles in each hand.
  • Page 13 If this occurs you will need to release the brakes immediately. In case it is impossible to control the Magus XC2 with the brake lines the C-risers may be used to steer and land the canopy. Attention! Pulling brake too fast or too hard can...

  • Page 14: Towing

    The Magus XC2 is easy to land. The final leg of the landing approach must be into the wind. During this final glide the paraglider should be decelerated slowly and at approximately one meter above the ground, according to conditions, the pilot should flare the canopy.

  • Page 15: Motorised Flight

    Asymmetric collapse: A negative angle of attack can cause all or part of the leading-edge of the Magus XC2 to collapse (e.g. in turbulent air). Basically the Magus XC2 will re-open spontaneously from closures of up to 70% with a change of direction of up to 360°. The time this takes, and the associated height loss, can however be noticeably reduced by appropriate action by the pilot.
  • Page 16 The entire leading edge spontaneously collapses. Gentle braking on both sides will reduce the lateral pendulum motions and simultaneously accelerate re- inflation. The Magus XC2 generally self recovers from an initiated front tuck. When having a very large front tuck, a frontal rosette can happen (the wingtips move forwards: shaping a horseshoe).
  • Page 17 (directly overhead). This usually takes 3-6 seconds. The Magus XC2 generally flies backwards during a full stall but doesn’t always form a front rosette. A frontal rosette can be formed by entering the full stall slowly.

  • Page 18: Rapid Descents

    Alternative (emergency) steering: If for some reason it becomes impossible to control the Magus XC2 with the brake lines the C-risers may be used to steer and land the canopy. Attention! Of course the range is much shorter (5-10 cm) then with the brakes. It is also possible to control the direction of the flight by pulling on a stabilizer line or by weight-shifting.
  • Page 19 When the pilot holds the outside A1-risers on both sides and pulls them down, the Magus XC2 easily tucks the outside wings and enters a stable descent mode. The pilot keeps hold of the brake handles along with the outside A1-risers in his hands. By braking on one side and weight-shifting, the canopy remains steerable.

    B-line stall on no account just release the B-risers, as this can cause overloading. If canopy does not recover apply both brakes gently to recover or pull the A-risers, until the canopy regains forward speed. (&( Summary: For all extreme manoeuvres and rapid descents please note: •...

  • Page 28: Manual For Paraglider Checks

    MANUAL FOR PARAGLIDER CHECKS Check-intervals All paragliders used in flight must be checked at least every 24 months. For paragliders used by paragliding schools the period is 12 months. Personnel authorised to carry out checks A valid flying license and training course by National association are the basis for permission to carry out paraglider checks Identification of glider An identity sticker with details of certification and serial number is attached to the glider.

    (&( Line length measurement Lines should be separated and each line measured under a tension of 5 kg. Measurement is made from the line karabiner to the canopy according to the method of certification. Rib numbering begins in the middle of canopy and leads to the wing tip. Measured full lengths should be documented in the inspection record and are compared with certified full line lengths protocol.
