]]> TARGET

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.
