The miniBip V2 is the only instrument in the Stodeus range to run exclusively on its internal battery, without a solar cell. Wherever you are, recharge it using USB-C, and set off for hundreds of hours of flying.

Its compact design and ultra-light weight of 24g make the miniBip V2 the lightest instrument in the Stodeus range. Leave it on your equipment at all times, for days when you’re doing one rotation after another, or for cross-country flying.

⚠️ Important Notice About the LiveTracking Feature

The LiveTracking functionality available on our devices requires the activation of a continuous connectivity service, which involves a monthly fee.
However, this service can be suspended during months when LiveTracking is not in use.

To enable LiveTracking, the following minimum monthly charges apply:

• Tracker 4G and LiveONE: service available from €3.99 / month
• Live C and Live DS: service available from €2.99 / month

Without an active subscription, real-time tracking will not be available.

Disclaimer
The Flymaster Live Tracking system operates exclusively through terrestrial LTE-M and 2G communication networks.
Consequently, the availability and reliability of live tracking services are entirely dependent on the coverage and performance of these networks.
Devices equipped with Enhanced Live Tracking (i.e., incorporating the Flarm module) may, however, provide improved tracking performance in certain situations where standard LTE-M and 2G connectivity is limited or unavailable.
The additional transmission capabilities of the Flarm module can enhance visibility and data exchange within compatible networks and infrastructures.
Nevertheless, communication and tracking cannot be guaranteed in areas lacking terrestrial network coverage or adequate signal propagation.
Users are therefore advised that instruments relying on terrestrial communication networks must not be regarded as emergency or safety-of-life devices, nor as providing assured connectivity or location transmission under all circumstances.
Flymaster shall not be held liable for any failure of communication, tracking, or data transmission arising from network unavailability or related technical limitations.

The BASE 3 is for cross-country pilots who have started flying XC on a low-B and are looking for more performance to push their distances. It is stable but informative, and has some secret ninja skills: it’s slow-speed handling make it a top-landing demon, and it’s really easy to launch in strong winds because it is so pitch stable and does not surge forward. Performance-wise it is top of the EN-B class, but safety-wise it could be a low-B.

DESIGNER’S NOTES

Like the DIVA 2, the BASE 3 has a high arc and short lines. The high arc came about on the DIVA 2 primarily to improve the glide ratio, but we noticed this also resulted in extremely gentle collapse behaviour. Short lines reduce drag and also increase pitch stability, while leaving some roll for a fun and lively feel.

It has a reflex profile. This design is often associated with paramotor wings, and it means the profile has a natural pitch-up tendency. With a reflex profile, a lot of lift is produced near the leading edge, creating a force that acts against collapses and improves both active and passive safety. It makes the glider very stable on full bar, and collapses are very easy to anticipate and stop.

The tapered planform gives very good slow-speed characteristics, a slow stall speed and a wide margin for pilot error. The raked wingtips very effectively reduce drag.

The C-riser steering allows very effective pitch control, and the neoprene ‘cradle’ which serves as a handle is comfortable to hold and easy to use. Unlike a bar-style handle, there are no bits sticking out that could catch in your lines.

We have chosen to use cloths that are durable and hard wearing, for real-life abrasion-resistance. The unsheathed Aramid lines are Edelrid 8001U. They have a waterproof coating, and are very dimensionally stable so your glider will stay in trim.

The MAGIC 2 is designed as a pilot’s first wing; an easy, safe and forgiving glider for pilots progressing in their flying careers. It‘s positioned above the ADAM 2 school wing. It has EN-A safety and easy handling, with plenty of fun-factor and excellent performance. It will take pilots from their first soaring flights, learning to thermal, first XCs and onto more ambitious projects. Pilots will learn to love their MAGIC 2 as they appreciate its thermalling and XC potential, and won’t grow out of it too fast.

DESIGNER’S NOTES

The brief for the R&D team was to produce a wing that is very safe, easy to fly and forgiving of errors. It must be fun and have performance for flying XC: a true ‘progression’ wing. We’re really happy that we’ve achieved this. The MAGIC 2 is a roll-stable glider with smooth, refined handling, and is an absolute joy to thermal.

It is super easy to launch, with no tendency to slow in the rise phase and forgiving of over-enthusiastic pulling of the A-risers.

The long brake travel combined with progressively increasing pressure as you near the stall point, means you won’t stall it unintentionally. It also has no tendency to get locked into a spiral and is generally very forgiving in roll.
