exclusively designed by Michel Le Blanc for Air Conception for motor flying. Billed as being fast, agile & economical.

Video of my first flight. Speed at an inch off slow trim is about 25mph, brakes are light and precise. Upon landing is my big surprise. I used very little fuel. I am unsure if I looked correctly as I am in disbelief. I have used only 2 litres per hour.

2nd 3rd and 4th flights, I push it more and more.

I fly my normal style of some high, low, banked power turns, what I call me usual blasting about. This time upon landing having taken a photo of my fuel tank before flight, timed my flight and a photo on landing, I used 2.7 lph.

85kg flying 23m

It has positive pressure at all times on the rear trimmers. It's fast, light in the hands, floats, climbs, feels solid. It feels like a fast paraglider, a new style wing that fits between a standard paraglider and a reflex.

Made by flying planet. Lots of clever lining, supported leading edge, special profile.

Paul Amiell and Michel Leblanc together, facilitated the beginnings of paragliding in France.

A comment about the Maganetic 23 from another pilot, taken from French forum. Unsure of weight or other wing sizes.


"I was able to fly with the "Magnetic".


Easy inflation, crew. Run approach: you really have to run fast to be supported. Slaved sailing seems very handy and accurate but requires a lot of engine (compared to my Hadron example). Measuring trimée speed: 47 Km / h !! I understand why I had to run to the decor!


I release the trimmers and hangs brake controls. Annexes controls are nice and sailing responsive. Speed 58.5 km / h! ... The sail has stabilized and seems solid (could not test more).


Trims + Bar released funds to the sail making a speed crazy but still, he seems stable over the head. The problem then has the power to hold the landing ... With my x-race I go down to -1.3 m / s ... The speed is of the order of 73-74 km / h! This is the fastest sailing (by far) that I have ever tested (staying in a "normal" size).


An amazing veil that completely shifts the speed range up. No doubt it will find its place on the podium. A little work on the finish will be necessary to take him to the level of competition.


PS All velocity measurements are made by analyzing the trace gps back and forth on the wind. "


I had better hook up my speed bar


 

Flying full slow trim my level flight rpm of 5960. One inch out on the trim and level flight was 6900rpm. The trim range is excellent and explains why it is so slow and lifty yet can also be fast when trimmed out. My motor the AirConception 130cc tops out at 9800rpm.

85kg pilot flying level at 1000ft.

Speeds according to my gps app and a few calculations for wind.


42 kmh full slow hands up

56 kmh fast trim

72 kmh full speed bar

Data from Flyskyhy app.


Forecast was 5-7mph South westerly.


71 km/h into wind and crucially I was still climbing, be it only 0.83 m/s (163fpm) full chat on my 130cc that day reading 9600 rpm.

Downwind at fast trim 59kmh

Upwind at fast trim 47kmh

speed formula: (SQRT (New Weight / Original Weight)) * Original Speed (either airspeed or sink rate).

In the segment of powerful wings, we wanted to provide experienced pilots wing extremely successful in terms of speed and maneuverability. Featuring a brand new profile called "progressive reflex", this wing is designed for demanding riders looking for speed, maneuverability and self-stability. One of the fastest and most efficient sails in terms of fuel consumption. For trophy hunters!

Inflation and taking ultra fast charging. Equipped with the latest technological advances leading edge in shark nose and equipped rigifoils. Elevators simplified to a steering brakes + TST (Tip Steering Toggles) 2D.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF SAILING


Lets take the magnetic 23(22.4m2) my weight 120kg divided by 95kg (quoted) = 1.26 SQRT 1.122 x 66km/h (quoted) = 74.08 km/h


which is pretty much about the same area as I am saying from actual flying.



Interestingly I get 69km/h from my GTX22 which only claims 63.
