Mac Para Muse 2 Paraglider
Specs, test data and other useful information on the Mac Para Muse 2.
I hope this guy had a landable area right ahead, it almost looks like his wing tip is brushing the twigs! Mmm the photographer might have used a telephoto lens, which would create that illusion. Photo reproduced here with permission from Mac Para Technology.

Ever Flown This Wing?
If so, feel free to share anything you like about the experience here. What were your first impressions?
Please state your experience level, just to put your comments in perspective.
For example, you might be a low-time pilot flying a new wing for the first time and loving it!
Or perhaps you are an instructor, evaluating this wing on behalf of a student. In that case, many visitors here will be very interested in what you have to say!
