The updated risers feature trimmers; strong brake handle magnets; tip steering system (TST);
fully adjustable brake pulley height settings; launch assist system attachment point and
coloured A risers for easy identification. The risers do not have a foot operated accelerator.
Trimmers
The MagMax 2 is certified with trim risers that can be adjusted in flight to maximise thermalling
or gliding efficiency or to compensate for wing loading/conditions depending on personal
taste.
The design team have found that when flying in the middle to top of the weight range the best
position for take off, climb out and landing is with the trimmers set to the fully slow position.
However to improve the initially inflation speed both trimmers can be released to the first
white line. The faster trim speed also reduces the chances of inadvertent parachutal stalls
during the climb out. In the air the trimmers can be used asymmetrically to compensate
for the propeller torque effect or during thermalling for improved handling by releasing the
outside trimmer 2-3 cm or as required.
Before the take off inflation, ensure that the trimmers are set equally on both sides. The white
stitching is for a reference to ensure symmetry.
Brake Lines
The brake line lengths have been set carefully during testing. We feel it is better to have
slightly long brake lines and to fly with a wrap when necessary.
• Ensure both main brake lines are of equal length.
• If a brake handle has been removed, check that its line is still routed through the pulley
when it is replaced.
• When the brake handles are released in flight, the brake lines should be slack. There
must be a substantial “bow” in them to guarantee no deformation of the trailing edge.
• There must be a minimum of 10cm of free play before the brakes begin to deform the
trailing edge. This prevents the trailing edge from being deformed when releasing the
trimmers or when controlling the wing with the TST.
IMPORTANT
In thermic or turbulent
air it is recommended
pull the trimmers to
the slowest position or
at least to the lower
white stitch line and
fly the glider actively.
IMPORTANT
In the unlikely
event of a brake line
snapping in flight, or
a handle becoming
detached, the glider
can be flown by gently
pulling the rear risers
(D-risers), or the TST
for directional control.
