The Climb Out
Once in the air you should continue flying into wind whilst gaining height. By setting the
trimmers to the white line position you will achieve the safest climb rate. Do not attempt to
climb too steeply or too quickly by using the brakes directly after take-off. The wing already
has a high angle of attitude, coupled with a higher AoA (if you use the brakes) plus the
engine’s full thrust acting on the pilot, this could contribute to make the glider more prone to
stall. Furthermore, in the event of an engine failure the resulting backward pendulum motion
of the pilot and the forward dive of the wing may bring you back to the ground very hard. Do
not initiate turns until you have sufficient height and airspeed. Avoid low turns downwind with
insufficient airspeed.
The MagMax 2 is well damped in roll but under certain circumstances it is possible for the pilot
to induce oscillations. This is caused by a combination of the engine/propeller torque and pilot
weight shift and/or brake inputs and hang point height. To stop oscillations it is best to reduce
the power slightly and ensure that you remain static with weight shift and brake inputs. Using
the TST can also help reduce oscillations. Once settled you can once again apply full power.
Under full power the torque effect will attempt to gently turn the wing, using weight shift or
adjusting the trims asymmetrically is the best method to correct this.
Normal Flight
Once at a safe height you can release the trimmers for a faster cruise speed. If your motor has
enough power, the MagMax 2 will achieve very good straight line speeds whilst maintaining
level flight with trims fully released.
For better penetration in headwinds and improved glide performance in sinking air, crosswinds
or headwinds, you should accelerate the wing by releasing the trimmers. In turbulent air the
profile is very stable, it will resist reasonable levels of turbulence with a high resistance to
collapse without active pilot input. However in strong turbulence Ozone recommends to return
the trimmers to the white line position and fly the glider actively. This way, you will be in the
best position to react correctly should a collapse occur and the behaviour of the wing will be
more benign.
