Page 2: Technical Description
Thank you for choosing a PHI SCALA light! The SCALA light is a superlight 2 liner EN D wing with a radically optimized line layout. With only 2 mainlines per side for A and C lines this wing can be described as a 2 x 2 liner with outstanding performance! The reduction in lines is partially attributed to the use of Dynemma SK99 line materials which are very length stable. -
Page 3: Target Group
Target Group The SCALA light is aimed at pilots who fly regularly and are up to the higher demands of a D-class wing. Several years of flying experience and regular training are prerequisites for being able to master a D-wing in every situation. - Page 4 In strong turbulence, lower stability of the canopy is noticeable. If you fly the SCALA light in the upper half of the weight range, the dynamics and stability of the wing increase. The trim speed also...
- Page 5 Flying turns A turn is an interaction of inner brake, outer brake and weight shi ing. The art is the right dosage. The SCALA light is characterized by a sensitive handling. Small brake inputs are enough to fly precise turns.

Page 6: Rapid Descents
B-Stall Since the SCALA Light is a 2 line, there is no classic B line group. Pulling the rear riser results in a maneuver comparable to the “C stall” on standard wings. This can be used for fast descent, but takes practice and is not recommended as your ʻgo-toʼ decent technique. -
Page 7: Asymmetric Collapse
50% of the span affected, the glider shows a more dynamic reaction: Due to the increased drag of the folded wing, the SCALA 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 8: 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 SCALA 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 9: 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 SCALA light we never experienced a cravate but this situation can not be eliminated for any paraglider. -
Page 10: Service And Maintenance
In flight, the SCALA 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 11: 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. - Page 12 6067 ABSAM Österreich...
