PHI MAESTRO 2 light, Manual

In flight, the MAESTRO 2 light can now be accelerated by pushing the speed bar, which results in a reduction of the angle of attack
and as a consequence an increase of airspeed. The speed increase compared to trim speed is about 15 - 17km/h.
The use of the accelerator is useful to penetrate against the wind or to make more distance in a certain time during XC flights.
Attention:
Braking during the accelerated flight not only costs a lot of gliding performance, but as well increases instability and may lead to
collapses! Always release the speed bar before pulling the brakes! Many pilots who fly with a wrap/half-warp o en push bar like
this and inadvertently apply some brakes during accelerated flight.
To turn, simply shi weight, or push the speed bar asymmetrically. (If you push the right side further, the wing will perform a le
turn.) You may also turn with a ʻsmart riserʼ like our R07 riser with the C handles.
Geometric data of the accelerator
If the entire available accelerator travel is used, the A-risers shorten by 18cm or 20cm compared to the C-risers, depending on size:

Flying with the R07 riser: usage of the C handle:
The MAESTRO 2 light can optionally be equipped with the new R07 riser. This offers an ergonomically optimized position of the C
handle.
In this arrangement, the clean change in the angle of attack can be operated very effortlessly in every flight position.
-not only in straight flight!
The riser is very spartan and clearly designed.
By using the highest quality ball bearing rollers, it runs very easily.
The development goal was a very pleasant and intuitive operation.
The central Edelrid 8001U-800 line can be easily replaced by a competent person or dealer.
