Summary of Contents for PHI Maestro Light
- Page 1 Manual Version 1.04 of 29.09.2022...
- Page 2 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.

Page 3: Pilot Requirements
First flight Each PHI paraglider must be flown in and inspected by a PHI dealer prior to being handed to the customer. This first flight must be entered together with the date and pilot on the type table sheet of the paraglider (in the intake of the middle cell). - Page 4 Turning A turn is an interaction of inner brake, outer brake and weight shi ing. The art is the right dosage. The MAESTRO light is characterized by a sensitive handling. Small brake inputs are enough to fly precise turns.

Landing The MAESTRO light is easy to land. In the final approach against the wind flare the wing at an appropriate height. Normally about 1m above ground level, the angle of attack should be increased by more and more braking. When the minimum speed is reached, the brakes are pulled to the max, the wing and this technique allows a so touch down. -
Page 6: Asymmetric Collapse
50% of the span affected, the glider shows a more dynamic reaction: Due to the increased drag of the folded wing, the MAESTRO light will start to turn to the side of the collapse. At the same time, the glider pitches forward as a result of the smaller loaded wing surface and therefore higher wing load and needed airspeed. -
Page 7: Frontal Collapse
- one side is slowed down too much in slow flight (for example during thermal flying) If an accidentally initiated negative turn is corrected immediately, the MAESTRO light goes into normal flight without any major loss of altitude. The brake that has been pulled too far should be released until the airflow on the inner wing attaches again. -
Page 8: Winch Launch
A er a big collapse or a er a badly executed full stall, a part of the wing might be tangled up in the lines, and wonʼt reopen automatically. This is what you call a cravate. During our extensive test flights with the MAESTRO light we never experienced a cravate but this situation can not be eliminated for any paraglider. -
Page 9: Service And Maintenance
In flight, the MAESTRO 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. -
Page 10: Registration, Warranty
Exceptions are the replacement of lines as well as the repair of small tears (up to 5 cm, which do not affect seams) or holes in the cloth, which can be repaired with the original PHI repair set. A small set of sticking cloth is supplied with the wing. -
