Built for Beginners—Refined for All

Trustworthy Behavior from First Launch

Beginners need a wing that listens—and the FANTASIA does just that. It rises gently in any wind, center-stays beautifully, and doesn’t overshoot or collapse unexpectedly. Because of this, instructors worldwide have praised it as one of the best wings to teach students the fundamentals.

Moreover, the FANTASIA doesn’t demand perfect technique. Even when you make small errors during launch or flare, the wing responds supportively—helping you learn through action, not punishment.

PHI FANTASIA Forgiving Flight Dynamics

Once airborne, the FANTASIA remains calm, predictable, and confidence-inspiring. Even in light turbulence, it provides impressive pitch damping and excellent roll stability. Consequently, students can focus on mastering brake control, weight shift, and active flying without feeling overwhelmed.

And thanks to the well-proportioned brake range, every input feels intuitive. You won’t oversteer or understeer. Instead, you’ll discover how responsive a glider can be—without sacrificing safety.

PHI FANTASIA  Glider That Grows with You

Progressive Learning and Freedom

Not every EN A glider allows new pilots to progress. However, the FANTASIA offers surprising potential beyond the school hill. Want to try thermaling? Go ahead. Ready for a calm ridge soar? It’s game. As your skills grow, the wing adapts with you, offering performance headroom that many entry-level gliders can’t match.

Therefore, the FANTASIA isn’t just a “first wing”—it’s an ideal companion for the full journey from beginner to low-airtime pilot and beyond.

Thermal Performance and Efficiency

Although it prioritizes ease of use, the FANTASIA doesn’t ignore performance. With a trimmed aspect ratio and efficient profile design, the glider climbs well in light lift and maintains an impressive glide for its class. This gives pilots the chance to explore real XC potential—especially when paired with favorable conditions and sound decision-making.

PHI FANTASIA Comfort on the Ground and in the Air

Effortless Ground Handling

You can’t have great launches without great ground handling, and the FANTASIA excels here too. Because of its clean line layout and balanced inflation behavior, the wing rises symmetrically and stays open—even in variable conditions. This helps students build ground confidence quickly and reduces training fatigue.

With fewer lines to untangle and no tendency to overshoot, beginners will spend more time learning and less time fixing.

Smooth Takeoffs and Landings

Takeoff requires minimal speed. The wing lifts you gently and with control. Meanwhile, landings are a dream—thanks to its strong flare authority and gentle sink rate. Even small errors on approach tend to self-correct, making it ideal for grassy hills, short LZs, or training fields.

Smart Design, Durable Build

Minimal Lines—Maximum Simplicity

PHI’s decision to reduce the line plan on the FANTASIA dramatically improves setup time and reduces potential drag. Additionally, this minimalist approach contributes to better sink rate and glide, making it easier for pilots to focus on flying—not fiddling with cords.

Robust Materials That Last

Unlike many entry-level wings built with low-cost fabrics, the FANTASIA uses premium materials proven across PHI’s entire lineup. The upper surface combines lightness with durability, while the leading edge remains firm even after extended use. Because flight schools demand toughness, this glider stands up to the challenge—without adding unnecessary weight.

Inclusive Design for Every Pilot

Sized to Fit and Support All Body Types

PHI made no compromises when it came to accessibility. With a size range from 14 to 30, nearly every pilot can find their ideal FANTASIA. The extended weight range—from 50 kg to 145 kg—makes it especially inclusive, supporting everyone from light pilots to heavier builds without sacrificing control.

Whether you’re just starting out, returning to flying, or simply seeking a low-stress glider that feels like an old friend, the FANTASIA invites you in.

Towing, Training, and Beyond

Because the FANTASIA meets EN A standards across the size range, it’s suitable for winch towing, tandem-style instructor demos, and other ground-based teaching formats. This flexibility makes it a favorite not only among new pilots but also among schools and professionals.

PHI FANTASIA Technical features

Apart from the extraordinary security and the extreme simplicity of the FANTASIA, it has some special technical features for this class, like the only 3 suspension levels over most of the span. We have also banished any Dyneema lines (as well from the brakes) in order to achieve better trim stability. Due to the spartan structure, the FANTASIA is very light even in the robust 30D / 20D mix.PHI FANTASIA

Performance doesn’t really matter in this ultralow class, but we found that we “can’t get rid of the performance, typical of our designs.” Due to the profile used and the very clean finish (zig zag 3D shaping), this simple wing still performs very well. FANTASIA rises extremely efficiently in thermals. It also glides remarkably well against the wind (the very stable profile used does not bank up).PHI FANTASIA
