Page 2: Technical Description
Together with the sophisticated sail tension and the optimized zigzag 3D shaping, a new level of surface quality is achieved. With a designed aspect ratio of 6.8, the SCALA 2 is on top of the EN C range. The normal version of the SCALA has more and longer rods on the topsail and slightly heavier cloth. -
Page 3: Target Group
Target Group The SCALA 2 is aimed at pilots who fly regularly and are up to the higher demands of a high aspect ratio EN C-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 2 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 2 is characterized by a sensitive handling. Small brake inputs are enough to fly precise turns.

Page 6: Rapid Descents
B-Stall Since the SCALA 2 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 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 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 2 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 2 we never experienced a cravate but this situation can not be eliminated for any paraglider. -
Page 10: Service And Maintenance
In flight, the SCALA 2 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. -
