Trimmers
The Magnum2 comes equipped with trimmer risers so that the trim
speed can be adjusted to personal taste depending on the payload.
The trimmers have a stitched white line to represent 'standard trim'.
This is the trim we recommend for 'normal' flight with 'normal' wing
loadings. In this position the Magnum2 will achieve its best glide for
calm air,
When launching it is best to partly release the trimmers (approx
2cm) from the white line to give a faster inflation.
The sink rate and brake pressure are reduced with the trimmers in
the fully slow position, this speed should be used when ridge soar-
ing or thermalling. However if you are flying near the bottom of the
weight range it is recommended to not fly at the slowest trim.
For better penetration in headwinds and improved glide performance
in sinking air, crosswinds or headwinds you should fly faster than trim
speed by releasing the trimmers. Using up to half or three-quarter
trim does not degrade the glide angle or stability significantly and will
improve your flying performance, as you will reach the next thermal
faster and higher. At full speed the Magnum2 is stable, however we
recommend not to fly at full speed close to the ground or in turbu-
lence.
Whilst making the landing approach it is recommended to return the
wing to the white line setting.
Warning: When flying with a light load do not fly in the fully
slow position.
Warning: Do not fly with the trimmers fully released when
close to the ground or in turbulent air.
Spreader bars
Your Magnum2 comes with a pair of Ozone spreader bars which
incorporate an innovative Ear Blocker Big Ears system. Make sure
that you attach the spreader bars to the correct side; the spreader
marked with an L is for the left side and the spreader marked with an
R is for the right side.
Ensure that the ear stopper ball is located facing to the outside.
The spreader bar has a single hang point (coloured Grey) at one end
and twin hang points (coloured Blue) at the other. The single loop
(Grey) is for the attachment of the pilot's harness. The twin loops
(Blue) are for the passenger's harness, either the upper or lower
loop can be used depending on the size and weight of the passenger,
but always ensure the passenger is hooked into matching loops on
both spreader bars.
The loop in the centre of the spreader bar (coloured Red) is for
attaching the spreaders to the glider's risers. The spreader bars
should be attached to the risers of the glider with the trapezoidal
links so that the single loops (Grey) are to the rear for the pilot to
clip into. If you use karabiners instead of trapezoidal links you must
make sure that they are tandem rated.
We recommend that you always fly your tandem with a reserve para-
chute suitable for your maximum all up flying weight. A twin bridle
reserve should be used; each bridle should be attached to the main
suspension point (red) on spreader bar with a seperate karabiner (not
supplied). The two bridles should be threaded up through the Velcro
loop and under the protective black cloth flap, before clipping into the
main suspension point.
