Used Wing Spiruline - 16 - Red - LittleCloud

The Spiruline is the reference in mini-sails

Whether you're flying rando, soaring on a windy day, making a splash, thermalling or speedflying, The Spiruline is there to give you the best sensations and incredible pleasure. The Spiruline has been completely redesigned. Its shape, number of cells, profile and lines are all new.

In more detail, the new 3-row line makes inflation easy and reassuring in all conditions. Load distribution along the span is more even, reducing deformation during scooping. Combined with the new profile's reduced, set-back air inlets, the wing fills smoothly. The wing is pitch-stable and will be waiting for you overhead, ready to take off.

Flying The Spiruline

In flight, theperfect balance of tension in the glider makes for extremely precise handling, bringing a smile to your face. It won't take you long to figure out how to fly it, thanks to its ultra-intuitive, straightforward handling. If you get a little more nervous on the controls, you'll be amazed at how easy it is to manage energy, especially when using resources. You'll also notice that with a size of The Spiruline, you'll cover 2 sizes of the older versions, its range of use being enormous.

In terms of performance, it offers very good glide with high arms, and good penetration in the wind, so you can fly safely. The Spiruline is available in 3 sizes: 14, 16 and 18. We recommend that you don't choose a size too small, or you'll lose a lot of versatility. It flies relatively fast, and you'll get more out of a larger size. The Spiruline will be a perfect second glider to complete your equipment, allowing you to fly more often.

The level required to fly The Spiruline will depend on your wing loading, but you'll need a minimum of experience to fly safely.

Wing loading around 3 (+/-20%)

Versatile use (learning, mountain, soaring, thermalling, aerial touring, ski flying) for beginner pilots and up, with damped pitch, reactive roll, medium height loss in 360°, large control travel. Flight speeds close to those of a paraglider.

Wing loading around 4.5 (+/-20%)

Versatile use as in Level I. Piloting skills need to be adapted to make the most of aerological conditions. For pilots with flying experience. Flight speeds are higher than those of a paraglider.

Wing loading around 6 or more

Less versatile for thermalling, aerial and mountain flying. Can be used for speed flying and soaring in strong winds. The wing is more reactive in roll and requires precise piloting. For experienced pilots. The wing's behavior is more dynamic, and flight speeds much higher than in paragliding. Significant loss of height in turns.
