Makalu 2 (2004-2006)

RELAXED SENSATIONS


Take off, kick back and enjoy! The Makalu 2 has already won many hearts among weekend pilots around the world prioritising absolute user-friendliness, bomb-proof safety and ample performance for their needs.


It is fun to fly, thermals like a dream and forgives any heavy-handedness that you may inadvertently throw at it. A perfect companion for advancing from the fledgling state to more advanced piloting, but also great for simply having fun in the air, year after year.

We have worked hard so that you must work less, for example by ensuring a very linear increase in the pressure on the brakes. This inspires confidence and makes your flight a relaxing and enjoyable experience – whether a local one or a prolonged XC. As a basic DHV 1-2 glider the UP Makalu 2 is suited for students and occasional pilots alike.
