Technical description:

In only a few short years since Mac Para introduced the Muse it has become one of the best selling and most popular motoring gliders in the world. Because of its easy handling, superb launching abilities, and DHV 1 stability, pilots and instructors everywhere recognize the Muse as an exceptional glider. Many gliders in the DHV 1 class are safe… but boring to fly, especially after the student has gained more confidence and skill. But not so with the Muse! Uniquely, it has the handling of a Sports Class glider with the stability of a school wing. Both new and experienced pilots will enjoy their experience of the Muse.
