SCALA 2 light: THE SUPERLIGHT RACER
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!
Designer’s notes
“We learned a lot by developing the SCALA 2 years ago. By working on high performance wings like the MAESTRO 2, we learned further on regarding sail finish and that small details that improve gliding performance. So we put all our knowledge and experience in the SCALA 2.”
— Hannes Papesh, Phi Designer
Features
The SCALA 2 light is an evolution of the SCALA light.
PHI 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 SCALA 2 uses the superlight D10 cloth in bottomsail: so they gained a little weight reserve for more rods in topsail.
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.

Risers
Standard: ‘Light Performance 2’ R11
Optional: ‘Comfort 2-liner’ R12
You are free to customize and choose another riser free of charge but this will delay your order by 3-7 days. If saving every gram is your top priority, you may choose a lighter riser. This reduces the weight on the tech data list but compromises usability and increases speed system pressure.

PHI SCALA 2 Light FAQ
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.
