Little Cloud’s Spiruline GT2 is out, and they say it’s all about simplicity and fun!
A small and compact wing, Little Cloud say the GT2 has sharp, precise handling and a good upwind glide, offering a few extra kilometres per hour compared to a standard paraglider. It has short lines and a small turning radius, allowing it to core very efficiently in small thermals.
Little Cloud say the GT2 is safe and well-pressured with long brake travel of 70cm, the last 10cm of which are heavy to avoid inadvertent stalls. Its performance is better than the GT, with a slightly higher aspect ratio (4.7 vs 4.5), optimised cell widths and a lower line consumption.
New V-rib construction and larger cross vents have allowed 200-300g to be shaved from the weight – the GT2 weighs 3.4kg to 3.9kg. It’s made from Dominico’s 35g Dokdo cloth which has good durability.
The GT2 is available in three sizes: 20m2, 22m2 and 24m2, each size having an optimum, extended and a paramotor weight range. In the ‘optimum’ range the wing is safe and forgiving, suitable for teaching in schools. It’s load tested only, but LC suggest it’s the equivalent of a low EN B in this sector of the weight range. The more you load it, the faster it will fly and the sharper its handling.
The GT2.0, the smallest size, is certified for 55-70kg (optimum range), and has been extensively tested by their female test pilot Gabi. They believe it’s an ideal glider for women. Trimmed fast, they say it has a good speed even in the lower part of the weight range.
