INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing your Moyes Sonic. You have made a wise choice as this intermediate
glider epitomises all the qualities of safety, performance, and handling that is the Moyes
tradition.
The development of the Sonic is indicative of the dedication of the Moyes design team who
strive to offer a range of high quality hang gliders for ALL pilots.
The flying traits of the Sonic can be summed up in one word - EASY ! !
EASY to launch because the glider with its positive handling at lower air speeds gives
maximum control and safety.
EASY to fly due to light handling and an amazing glide and speed range. The quicker roll
response and incredible sink rate make for easy thermalling and that will consistently leave you
at the top of the stack.
EASY to land, due to a very low stall speed and excellent flare authority across the full
recommenced wing loading range.
Please read this manual thoroughly, familiarise yourself with the set-up and breakdown
procedures, and take the time to practice these before venturing out to your site. Carefully
study the section on Flying Your Sonic and remember, for your first flight choose a mellow day
at a familiar site and ease yourself into one of the most enjoyable flights of your life.
Make sure you follow all appropriate procedures every time you fly. Never take anything for
granted in the sport of hang gliding. If in doubt about any aspect of operating your new Sonic,
consult your manual or seek advice from your Moyes dealer.
The Sonic is designed for the advancing pilot and the Birdmen from down under are happy to
help with advice and hints that will not only make flying your Sonic safer and more enjoyable,
but to help you achieve your full potential in the sport of hang gliding.
Since 1967, Moyes Delta Gliders has strived to be on the cutting edge of developing hang
gliders of the highest calibre. A family-owned business operating under homespun values, we
aim to provide a comprehensive international network to service all pilots. Even further, we
work with some of the best pilots in the world to ensure that our gliders are stringently made
and tested in order to improve their performance handling, and safety.
We wish you the very best flying,
The Moyes Team
