- Increased stability and efficiency
- Less brake pressure
- Reduced tip tucking (with kite risers)
- Improved feedback and precision
Compared to La Mouette (with kite risers)
- More dynamic, more responsive roll (Puffin pilots will understand)
- Slightly more demanding
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.
