The Racer

The SCALA 2 is the more heavy and robust version of the SCALA 2 light, which has been developed for hike and fly races like the Redbull X-alps. These are super long distance endurance competitions. The athletes need a wing that is not only superbly performing, but also is very easy in every matter. They need to trust the wing’s stability and safety when they are tired and not that concentrated.

The SCALA 2 is the evolution of the first version of the SCALA. We tuned on many screws to make it even better in performance, easyness and simplicity. The SCALA 2 is a high level EN C class wing!
With it’s high aspect ratio and performance the SCALA 2 stands out of the C class. It is a kind of game changer.

But even having that very elegant high aspect ratio, this wing is really easy in every matter! The outstanding feature is the extreme stable airfoil. As more turbulent it gets as more advantage you have with the SCALA 2!

As the “heavy version” of the SCALA 2 light, the SCALA 2 did not have min weight as a main priority, so it has heavier material and and more and longer rods all over the topsail.

The 15 July 2024, Andy Aebi made a paramotor closed-circuit World distance record with foot-launch. He used a special SCALA 2 13 reinforced and prepared Vittorazi Atom 80 engine. More info on XC mag
Thanks Andy to push our wing to the limits.

SCALA 2 Technical Features

The SCALA 2 is an evolution of the SCALA light and SCALA 2 light.

From SCALA light, we improved the rigging system, allowing bigears, a higher load for bigger sizes and a better form stability.
The balooning has been optimized further on, as well we spend a lot of work in optimization of rod length, shape and number.

The airfoil and intakes have been slightly adapted to improve performance and handling.
-as well as the new riser and line attachments system is offering more control at max speed.

The SCALA 2 is made “on top” of the SCALA 2 light: more heavy and rigid cloth, longer and more rods: for even more performance.

SCALA 2 Designer’s Note

We were very pleased with the high safety level of the SCALA 2 light. But we were even more pleased, that the “heavy version” of it: the SCALA 2 is still that safe and easy in extreme flying manoeuvres!
The new MJ 32 cloth is smooth, providing a really clean surface.

SCALA 2 Q&A

How should the SCALA 2 be packed?

The rods of the SCALA 2 l are not sensitive against bending, but they are longer that those of the SCALA 2 light. Please pack the wing with more care.

What is the service interval of the SCALA 2? Is a trim tuning needed?

The service interval is as usual 2 years from the first flight. Please fill in your first flight in the type table. On the base of our experience with the lines material mix, there is no trim tuning necessary: the trim does normally not change significantly.

What is the extended weight range?

As the SCALA 2 has a very wide safety margin, we decided to offer an extended weight range. This is offering the possibility to fly the SCALA 2 with more wing loading, still being in the certification range. A pilot may use this option on days with strong thermals with extra ballast, for strong wind soaring or when he generally loves to fly a high loaded wing for more speed, more dynamic energy and more fun.
For normal thermal flying it is recommended to stay inside the standard weight range.
