There are now GT and EZ versions of Little Cloud’s Spiruline miniwing: The GT is a little bit hotter, and The EZ is a little bit, well, easier:
The Spiruline GT, pictured above, the Gran Turismo version, has a slightly greater aspect ratio (4.5) than the 2012 Spiruline (4.3).
Little Cloud say the GT is pitch stable with precise and direct handling which makes it great fun to thermal. A versatile wing with a high internal pressure, it’s collapse-resistant and great for soaring, cross country and hike and fly. And for playing, judging by this video:

The Spiruline GT is available in 20 and 21.6m2 sizes (65-85kg and 80-100kg), and weighs 3.7 or 3.9kg. Load-tested only.

The Spiruline EZ is an easy-to-fly, low-end EN B wing, which is ideal for training in schools, say the company, with a “big fun factor” for anyone.
It’s a bit bigger, at 24m2, with an aspect ratio of 4.3. Little Cloud say it combines the ease of use of a miniwing with the damping of a larger glider, has direct handling with good feedback through the brakes, and is less roll-aggressive than the Spiruline.
LC say the Spiruline EZ is made from robust materials, but it still weighs just 4.2kg.
The quoted trim speed is 39-40km/h for a 85-90kg pilot, and it has a speed bar but no trimmers.
