GENERAL
Introduction
MAGUS XC
MAC PARA wish you many pleasant flights with your
We congratulate you on your purchase of a MAC PARA-paraglider.
Extensive development work and numerous tests make the MAGUS XC a very high
performance paraglider with maximum possible safety.
The MAGUS XC is designed for thermal and cross-country flying, and will enable pilots
to get maximum enjoyment.
Please read this manual carefully before you start, this way you will get the most out of
your glider, and enjoy many nice flights.
Paragliding is a sport, which demands, besides the optimum equipment, a high degree
of attentiveness, good judgement, and theoretical knowledge. Paragliding can be a
dangerous sport, which may lead to injury and death. Avoid flying in strong turbulence,
strong winds and especially in thunderstorms and Foehn conditions. These could lead to
uncontrollable flight conditions and result in a crash. If you have the slightest doubt about
weather, wind or terrain, don’t take off.
Before delivery, as well as during production, each paraglider goes through a strict
visual inspection, and is test-flown by your dealer. Stamps on the placard, together with a
completed test-flight certificate, confirm this. Check that the paraglider has been test-
flown before your first take-off. If it has not, consult your dealer.
If, after carefully reading this handbook, you still have questions, telephone your dealer;
or us we will be glad to help.
