Fregate: new high-performance parakite
Design
Born from the famous Urubu Mk2 planform, we’ve integrated special features to make it a pure parakite with the LittleCloud DNA: sharp roll, playful handling, and super intuitive!
LittleCloud are focused on developing a new family of airfoils that combine very high stability with agility, with no compromise on feeling!
These airfoils also help reduce brake pressure. As a pure parakite, the hands-up dive is more pronounced than on any of our other wings yet, delivering an explosive pop!
The roll is insanely responsive, right on demand!
LittleCloud specific skin tensions redefine canopy shape control – exceptionally wobble-free despite the 6.5 aspect ratio – translating into incredible piloting precision!
This high-performance parakite will allow pilots to fly any kind of terrain, even the most demanding ones!
Target
The Fregate is dedicated to intermediate to experienced pilots looking for a dynamic, playful, and limitless parakite that isn’t just designed to go up and down!
Its demand comes more from its powerful potential than from pure accessibility!
It’s super simple to fly – handling is achieved by design, with no special steering tricks needed!
Super predictable and fully trustworthy, thanks to a clear, lag-free response to inputs, a well-defined stall point, and smooth yet precise feedback on air quality!
Power demands responsibility!
Warnings
Although the Fregate is designed with a very turbulence-resistant airfoil, LittleCloud warn you that flying fast and close to the ground is not the safest configuration.
It’s not all about collapses – the danger also lies in sudden lift variations when you hit turbulence… even with your glider fully open above your head, you can still hit the ground!
They’ve adjusted the level of feedback to ensure you get the right information about the air quality you’re flying in. It’s up to you to listen and act accordingly!
At LittleCloud, they’ve been flying the Fregate in many different places – at the beach, in the mountains, and in a wide range of wind conditions! It has proven to deliver limitless fun!
LittleCloud won’t recommend whether to fly or not fly in a specific type of terrain … It’s really up to the pilot to decide, according to their skills and experience, whether they can fly here or there – taking full responsibility!
Fregate, The freerider!
Kiterisers
The Kiterisers have been developed with the best material on the market (Ronstan Orbit block, dyneema/Kevlar webbing blend). You can control your angle of attack with your hands, instantly. That means you can adjust your speed and the power of the glider at any time. The design mixes a very stiff A riser and soft dyneema rope for the rest. This offers a great ease of use and reduces tangling problems on preparation. The Kiterisers have an adjustable limiter so that every pilot can adjust the hands up position during their learning process.
LittleCloud also implemented a solution to get 3 positions for the T bar to improve the ergonomics for smaller sized pilots. The handles are flashy red so you can locate them in the blink of an eye.
LittleCloud Philosophy & Certification
It all started in 2008… with Tom’s vision of being able to enjoy flying as much as possible, all year long, and with maximum pleasure, LittleCloud was born. Pleasure, it seems, is something that is often lost in flying… because of the never-ending quest for performance and maximum distance. It has become their mission and philosophy at LittleCloud to deny this quest and focus their efforts on creating products for a community of pilots that pursue the pleasure of flight
A while back, LittleCloud chose to opt out of the flight certification game, except for tandem wings.
