Excellent review. I loved my BGD Magic for the first 2 years flying. I totally agree with this review that recommends starting with an A wing. The Magic provided ease and safety as I gained experience. I have now progressed to a BGD Echo 2 which feels like a natural progression from the Magic: Livelier and more agile and still with the ease of handling and launch and passive safety and quick recovery.

Perfect!, i Have the Magic 1, and really enjoy it!, thanks for the amazing video! :D

At 6 minutes 30(ish), YES! This!!!
"Beginners don't know what they don't know."

The reason I can ground handle/pause an EN-C prior to launching, for as long as I need to...
...and yesterday, I ground handled my Moustache 18 half a kilometre along a beach,
(Drum roll please 🤣)
...because my instructors 28 years ago wouldn't let me do my EP test until I well & truly got ground handling right.

They forced me to "know" that it's there, ON THE GROUND, where you can decide if you want to take off, or not.

Cheers for now,
Simon

Ground handling can be a challenge for advanced pilots too. I've seen plenty of C and D glider pilots messing their launches

Great review, thank you. The Magic 1 wing was also certified as PPG and the Magic 2 is not, maybe it's just marketing. Tell me your opinion, can it be used for PPG flying? Perhaps suggest a versatile class A wing.

Thanks for the review. Which do you prefer the Magic 2 or Phi Symphonia 2? And what would you say are the differences?

[DanielSeoane-bo]

Carlos, do you think it can be fly with pod harnesses? (thinking in making some xc with it)

[olamarvin]

Many good points on progression, hear hear!

[MitchG]

Please show more 3rd person footage of ground handling, takeoff, touch n go, landings, ect.

Hi, Thanks for your Test & Review. Can you tell the difference btwn Adam 2 as I remember you tested that also. Both have En A certificate and are in the starting position.
which one more capable to do XC or acro moves.

[Itsallgoodtogo]

While yes you can do XC on these wings ... there is still a massive diference when you push on the speed bar. 4 years ago I can still confirm that anything up to high B, the speed bar is more of a "I wanna get down faster" instead of "I wanna get there faster".

What's the one main thing you'd like to have seen or heard more of in this review, and what are the main things you'd like to have seen done differently, better?
