The first Illusion made many pilots happy and has gained an extraordinary reputation during the years. Therefore our goal by the development was to maintain simple flight characteristics and user-friendliness while at the same time shifting the performance. The Illusion 2 benefits from the latest technologies and development experience of our current gliders, it is user friendly, easy to fold and carry.
Situated in the middle of the B category the Illusion 2 perfectly fits between the Muse 5 and Eden 7. Reliable in all situations the Illusion 2 excels in glide performance, stability and handling in whole weight range.
The canopy combine solid and semi-lightweight tissues. On a heavily stressed leading edge is used Skytex 38. The main part of the canopy uses Skytex 32 Universal and Skytex 32 Hard on ribs. The Nitinol rod system of rib reinforcement provides optimal rigidity of the canopy and guarantees the stability of the clean canopy surface, even if the wing is carelessly glider packed.
The canopy itself is designed for maximum aerodynamic cleanliness. It features: Triple positive 3D shaping, negative 3D leading edge shaping, mini-ribs on the trailing edge and newly shaped stabilizers. Optimized diameter and material of ARAMID sheathed lines warranty correct geometry of AOA during glider's life. Canopy shape, 52 cells, internal structure, diagonal ribs, line geometry - all have been optimized to provide the canopy sufficient rigidity, ensuring stability and a pleasant and comfortable flight in turbulent air.
The stability in accelerated mode is exceptional.
Are you looking to enjoy and expand your flying experiences while safely progressing in your flying career? The Illusion 2 is suitable for a wide range of pilots. From first thermalling flights to long cross-country adventures, the glider offers impressive performance.
The glide performance, maneuverability and stability are excellent in the entire weight range.
Experienced pilots will be surprised by Illusion’s glide ratio but the safety is the most important feature of the Illusion.

Fast acht Jahre ist es her, dass Mac Para mit dem Illusion einen Basisintermediate präsentierte. In Folge deckte der leistungsstarke Einsteigerschirm Muse auch den Basisintermediatebereich bei Mac Para ab. 2023 war es dann soweit, ein neuer Low EN-B, der Illusion 2, wurde präsentiert ...

A light but reliable companion, for flying in big mountains. No stress, cool reactions, forgiving, and nice brake authority. Good overall performance to get the job done. I don’t know why, but after flying Illusion 2 I keep thinking of my lovely and peaceful Golden retriever…as if they share the same character…

Sonrisa. Una B intermedia ágil, rápida y semi-ligera, con un mando directo y preciso. Si la comparamos con la EN-B alta de Mac Para, la Eden 7, es más compacta y asequible en todos los sentidos, casi iguala su planeo y está dotada de un giro maniobrable y alegre, pero con una segurida pasiva y solidez general aun mayor. Permite pilotar con las bandas traseras.
