PHI
The PHI brand stands for experience, competence and passion. The PHI team consists of experts and enthusiasts with a lot of
experience. First-class technical professionalism is the base to further push the limits.
The PHI MAESTRO light
The MAESTRO light is a High-B wing with a highly technical design. The resulting dynamic performance and the high degree of
passive safety set new standards. The additional miniribs in the leading edge double the number of cells in the flow-critical area.
Together with the optimized zig-zag 3D shaping, a new level of surface quality is realized. The MAESTRO light impresses with its
very progressive lightweight construction.
Technical description
The MAESTRO light has 60 cells across the entire span, of which 8 cells each on the Stabilo are designed as closed cells. This
creates a form stable and homogeneous wing. The profiles used combine high performance with a very forgiving flight behavior.
4 levels of lines on the sail lead to 4 risers on each side. The outermost A lines hang on a separate riser for easy big ears. The
suspension system is extremely reduced, which offers a clear buildup and minimizes the line resistance.
On the front A riser, the speed system is attached.
For better distinction, all A-lines on the maillon rapide / so links are covered and red.
Safety
The MAESTRO light is characterized by high stability in turbulent air. If the wing collapses, the reaction is typical B-class: with no
dynamics.
The maneuver ratings of B in the EN / LTF tests confirm the large safety margin of this glider.
Handling
The brake travel is short and direct. The brake pressure shows a good progression with excellent feedback. The MAESTRO light
can be turned very sensitively and with comparatively small control inputs in thermals.
Performance
Due to the additional miniribs in the profile nose, the leading edge remains largely stable even in accelerated flight. Thus, the
MAESTRO light offers a very flat polar curve with outstanding performance for its class.
Target group
The MAESTRO light is aimed at competition pilots who participate in hike and fly events.
