Page 3: General
3 general dear mac para pilot we congratulate you on your purchase of a mac para paraglider. Extensive development work and numerous tests make the magus xc2 a very high performance paraglider with maximum possible safety. The magus xc2 is constructed for thermal and cross-country flying, and will e...
Page 4: Operating Limits
4 (&( operating limits 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. Its...
Page 5: Technical Description
5 technical description construction of the canopy: 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...

This adjustment, on the one hand, allows sufficient brake to be applied during extreme flying situations and when landing, while on the other hand, this ensures that brakes are not permanently applied to the canopy (espe...

The full range is reached when the 2 pulleys join together. Before launch, attach the paraglider’s risers to the harness with the main ka...

Additionally we recommend that you to check your new glider in accordance with the following points. We recommend that you make this check after flying extreme manoeuv...

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 ...
Page 12: Launch
12 (&( it is important that no lines are looped around the canopy. Also called a “line-over”, this may have disastrous consequences during take off. Finally connect the risers with your harness by using the main karabiners. Check carefully that they are closed properly. Launch the magus xc2 is very ...
Page 13: Flight
13 (&( flight the glider is delivered with a standard set-up and its speed can reach 37 - 39 km/h depending on the weight of the pilot. Always fly with sufficient clearance from the terrain. The magus xc2 glides best with open brakes, descends best with lightly applied brakes. In turbulence fly with...
Page 14: Approach and Landing:
14 (&( active flying (thermaling and soaring): in turbulent conditions the glider should be flown actively with brakes lightly applied to avoid canopy collapse. This improves stability by increasing the angle of attack of the canopy. The canopy should not rock back or surge forward much but should r...
Page 15: Motorised Flight
15 motorised flight note!! Although, motorized flight can be a great success due to the gliders very easy take-off characteristics, stability and good handling, always use a certified combination of engine - harness and glider. If in doubt check with your federation. Contact the manufacturer or impo...

The pilot’s correction for direction can be aided by a pumping out the deflation; a slow, long pumping action of the brake of the deflated ...

If brakes are applied while in a parachutal stall, the glider may suddenly enter a full stall! If a par...
Page 18: Wingover:
18 warning!! If you are low and are in an unintentional spin, or if the canopy is caught in a cravat use your reserve. (&( wingover: to induce a wingover the pilot flies consecutive alternating turns to gradually steepen the angle of bank. During wingovers with a high bank angle, the outside wing be...
Page 19: Big Ears:
19 warning!! Nearly all gliders will have a tendency to stay in the spiral if the sink-rate exceeds around 15-m/s, depending on weight-shifting, wing loading and g-force. In fact most gliders need a counter-input to end a turn. (&( attention! Due to energy retention, the glider will climb a lot afte...

20 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.
