The MAESTRO 3 light stands in a line of legendary superlight high B wings.
With those wings, the high B has be invented once and was constantly defined over many years.
Here is the next step: better, more relaxed, more balanced, safer, easier to fly and more performant than all it’s predecessors.
-and in the light version it is superlight with a super small packing volume.
The MAESTRO 3 light has a touch more aspect ratio, a different profile, different rods (Nitinol with padding), a slightly different rigging, different straps, canopy tension, mini ribs etc.
It performs better, flies a little nicer, is even more stable and has much better, smoother handling.
Overall it feels much more relaxed and is safer than the MAESTRO 2 light.
Pilots flying the MAESTRO 3 lights report the 3rd generation being more stable, easier, better climbing, better handling and better performance and faster in max speed.
To reach an wider target group, the MAESTRO 3 light has normal length riser and more covered lines.
Except stabilo all lines down to the carabiners are covered!
The light version of the MAESTRO 3 is built from Dominiko D10: the technological most advanced superlight cloth on the market.
The super fine D10 fibre is woven to a very tight structure. So it sets the benchmark in durability as well.
Even during a long and successful career as a designer, it is not often that you are sure that your latest new creation will be an incredible success.
With the MAESTRO 3 light there is no doubt. Since a long time I wanted to do a mainstream product from the magnificant Dominiko D10 cloth.
-Forget the usual clichés: new benchmark, better than ever, more performance, more safety, better handling, etc.!
-just try it!
-you will buy it!
Thanks to the test pilots Alex Höllwarth, Benni Hörburger and Rene Pfister for their work!

The weight in this table is measured with the lightest riser: RZ3. The R14 riser is heavier.
The MAESTRO 3 light is available in unbelievable 8 sizes to match every pilot perfectly!
We do the 2 biggest sizes only in the light version to limit packing volume and weight.
Unlike the MAESTRO 2 light (150mm), the 3rd generation offers a full 180mm of speed travel for the smaller sizes 17 and 18!
The new Neoprene padding on the leading edge distributes the pressure of the Nitinol rods over a larger area and makes the wing nose significantly more robust against abrasion.
Nitinol in general is offering very easy packing and low stress by being very form stable.
Because of the superb form stability of Nitinol and the optimised 3 section 3D shaping, the lift section of the MAESTRO 3 light airfoil is super smooth.
The MAESTRO 3 light has the R14 riser as the standard riser. It is offering “floating B” with C handle steering. In contrast to the R07, it has the standard length of 540mm.
You can mount a hard Carbon handle or grab the soft Neoprene handle: as you like.
As usual you can choose the riser at ordering without extra price.

2022
A new era in light!
The MAESTRO 2 defines a new benchmark in high B. The MAESTRO 2 light is offering the same performance and flying dynamics in light weight design.
Glider, compression bag, repair material
Optional Carbon handle for the R14 riser
We recommend the usage of our new fast packing bag Accel!
