- Page 2 Technical description The BEAT 2 has 56 cells across the entire span, of which 8 cells each on the Stabilo are designed as closed cells. This build up forms a very form stable and homogeneous wing. The profiles used combine high performance with a very forgiving flight behavior.

The BEAT 2 is only approved for operation within a certain weight range. It is the total weight, including pilot, paraglider and harness (and other equipment). If the BEAT 2 is flown in the lower half of the legal weight range, reduced agility can be expected. In strong turbulences a lower... - Page 4 Flying turns A curve is an interaction of inner brake, outer brake and weight shi ing. The art is the right dosage. The BEAT 2 is characterized by a sensitive handling. Small brake inputs are enough to fly precise turns.

Landing The BEAT 2 is easy to land. In the final approach against the wind you let flare the wing slightly braked. In 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 shows 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 BEAT 2 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: Stall Manoeuvres
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 BEAT 2 we never experienced a cravate but this situation can not be eliminated with any paraglider. -

Connection with ball and loop: In flight, the BEAT 2 can now be accelerated by pushing the speed pedal, which results in reduction of the angle of attack and as a consequence an increase of the airspeed. The speed increase compared to trim speed is about 15 - 17km/h. - Page 9 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: see technical data. Flying with the R07 riser: usage of the C handle: The MAESTRO 2 light can optionally be equipped with the new R07 riser.

Exceptions are the replacement of lines as well as the repair of small cracks (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. -
