 About the Muse
II:
Technical
description:
The Muse 2 has
everything that you need to discover a fantastic dimension of flying. It
was designed to be a super-safe glider with finely tuned handling for
pilots who need DHV 1 safety and who want to enjoy relaxed flying.
 The
Muse 2 is the ideal glider for beginners to the sport and maybe also those
more experienced pilots looking for the easy life.
The
Muse 2 has 39 cells and a nice elliptically shaped canopy with an aspect
ratio of 4.65. The classic construction with diagonal V-tapes and a system
of load-bearing tapes gives canopy stability and helps to keep a clean
profile. Line configuration remains the same as the Muse 1 with an
additional E-line. Intensive testing on different curvatures of canopy
resulted in a well balanced glider with simple take-off characteristics
and easy behavior during extreme maneuvers. The canopy is very resistant
to collapse. In an induced collapse the glider gives a rotation of 30
degrees. The opening is smooth and fast. The Muse 2 has lively handling
but the canopy is well damped in all axes. The light brake pressure allows
pleasant turns during long thermal flights, but increases progressively
towards the end to offer a good safety margin. The Muse 2 comes with a 4
point riser system and is equipped with split A risers for easy big-ears.
