Can the PHI MAESTRO 2 LIGHT really sense thermals?

[@AviationSports1978]

I have had mine for a few months and love it, Was going to do a small walkaround review but havent had time. Excellent wing

[@seanryan8517]

I have the same lime color in a 22 - absolutely love the wing! Great performance and relaxing at the same time.

I got the normal version and really like it, but I wouldnt describe it as relaxing😄

@@Adr1i96yea I have the maestro 2 light in size 22, flying somewhere around 94 kg so I’m a little lighter than I’d like at the moment but I’m usually a little heavier than I am right now. Anyway I moved up from a UP Dena(high-A) so it is a bit of a jump. That being said in lighter conditions I absolutely love it and can outclimb most pilots who are more experienced than myself. In strong conditions (over 100° in Sierra Nevada mountains, high pressure, turbulence) it can be a little much, it’s very talkative which I love but it’s gonna take me a season to get used to it I think. I’ve only had 5 flights so far, a little over 3 hours, two evening flights and 3 mid day flights.

I have the "Full Fat' PHI Maestro 2 -25. I fly at an all up weight of 129KG and it flies very well indeed. I really like the 1st year warranty for factory repair or factory replacement...if pilot error breaks the wing with an oops moment. The C-riser pegs are new to me ,my last glider didn't have them and holding the wing down on a windy launch is easier, no more fumbling about. Build quality is excellent. Day one i registered my glider on the PHI website for warranty reasons and that was straight forward to do.

I like mine in the air very much. Just the sorting of the C- lines is a little bit tricky. Above all on H&F. I allways check them twice.

thanks for sharing

[@sonnyburnside9409]

I love this i have a air design soar and thinking of getting this wing as only ever got air design wings lol

[@raoulduke1914]

very nice Greg, thanks... hope you got to try the Flow Freedom 2 as well which I saw thermalling below you

[@SkidzFPV]

Got 30 hours on mine, I’ve only had 23 flights this year 😢. But I love the glider. Bought the 22 but lost some weight so I’m actually flying it between 93-95 kg AUW so I’m near the middle of the weight range, it definitely felt better closer to 100 kg but it doesn’t feel bad at the middle, just get little wing tip collapses more often, but still is an incredible glider, even in middle of weight range.

Around minute 6:12 , when thermaling with deep brakes there's note saying that's not efficient. Why is that?

[@FlyingSalsero]

i guess he turned more tighter then he suppose to, just to test it. Smooth-flattened turn would be more efficient in that moment, i suppose

[@gargantuanz9390]

I got to get me one 😊

[@SkidzFPV]

Do it! It’s an incredible wing! I got the 22 and fly at about 100-101 kg AUW and it’s incredible! It’s my second wing, jumped up from a UP Dena (high-A) so it was a considerable jump and the feedback was the hardest thing to get used to. I’m just over 10 hours on it and doing 10+ km out and return flights (I know that’s not a lot but it’s a pretty decent little XC in my area) and for a glider that has 76 cells, only weighs about 3.7 kg, and flying how it does is incredible. The glide ratio on speed bar is just insane after flying a high-A, the improvement has blown my mind.

[@PhilippeLarcher]

If you tried it how does it compare to BGD Lynx 2 ? :D

[@safranpollen]

a nice appetizer
