The Spiruline: Iconic LittleCloud Miniwing

Design

In closer details, the new line set-up will ensure a perfect inflation in any conditions thanks to the 3 rows. The load spread along the span is more homogeneous, therefore less deformation during the inflation.  LittleCloud new airfoil has smaller and a pretty set back entry to get a perfect filling of the wing. The glider remains pitch stable and will wait for you above your head. In flight, the very fine skin tensions give an incredibly precise handling, putting an ear to ear smile on your face at any turns! It also ensures a very predictive and intuitive handling. You will quickly learn how to handle The Spiruline.

• If you get it to “rock’n’roll”, you’ll be amazed how easy is the management of the energy is in surges and you’ll figure out that you can get the flying behavior of two old Spirulines in this new model, as it has a very wide using range!
• On the performance side, it’ll offer a great glide ratio hands up, … All you need to have fun in safe conditions. The Spiruline is available in 14 16 and 18m2. Risers equipped with Trimmers.
• LittleCloud recommend not choosing a size that is too small for your experience level. They fly relatively fast, and you will get more out of a larger size. It will be the perfect second wing to fulfill your quiver and allow you to fly more. The skill level required depends on the wingloading. Can be used in schools with the correct supervision. In any case, you have to be a minimum experienced pilot to fly a MiniWing.

Target

Any pilot with Paragliding or Speedflying rating will be able to fly these. 

Wingload  around 3 (+/-20%)
For varied use, suitable from 100% beginner pilots (learning/school, mountain flying, soaring, thermic, fly-downs, ski). It has virtually no pitch, is reactive during roll, moderate height loss during 360s, large brake travel. Similar speeds to a paraglider.

Wingload around 4.5 (+/- 20%)
For varied use, as level 1. Good piloting skills should be able to maximise the aerological conditions. For pilots who already have experience of flight. Higher speeds than a paraglider.

Wingload around 6 and more (- 20%) 
Less versatile for thermic and mountain flights. More orientated to speed flying and soaring in strong conditions. It’s more reactive to roll and requires accurate piloting. For experienced pilots. A more dynamic wing, with much higher speeds than a paraglider. Much greater height loss when turning.

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.
