Little Cloud Urubu Mk2

After 6 years of existence, the Urubu Legacy is moving onto a new era with the Mk2 version: A real LittleCloud glider benefiting of our latest modern technologies!

Renewing such a nice glider wasn’t an easy task!
The challenge was high: how to propose an improved performance and keeping the proven qualities of the original Urubu?
The Urubu is our favourite R&D class, it therefore benefits from all our acknowledge and experience.
The uncountable testing hours made sure the Mk2 matches our expectations and were just giving us a good excuse to play in the sky!
The result is an absolutely joy !
We kept the same base for this Evolution. 57 cells construction is the best compromise we find between, performance, weight/compacity, safety and LittleCloudness !
The Aspect Ratio remains identical with 6.15: this helps keeping a good accessibility and a genuine LittleCloud handling, the performance enhancement has been achieved with other ways.
Smart design- no unneeded features, simplicity at its apex!

LittleCloudness: We make toys for fly, not tool!

Enhancing the performance is one thing, keeping the “LittleCloudness” is a priority😊
The handling of the Urubu Mk2 is simply incredible, sharp, precise, playful!
This is a very important feature for us as turning is part of the game! Better enjoy that part!
The Glider is superbly balanced, reacting instantly to  the pilot order inspiring for improving.
The Pitch stability is of course here, like no other brand has been able to reach until now:

– easy take off even in strong wind
  easier and more relax to fly in active air
– less flying incident’s consequences
– improved efficiency in mushy air.

Comfort in turbulence is pretty high, but as always, we kept a talky glider to allow the pilot to fully understand the air he’s flying in! A very important safety feature!
Which also helps in light condition to better snif lifting air!

Large brake travel before stall for more forgiving over piloting!

The Glider will only surprise you with its ease of use and its top-notch flying behaviour, giving you the opportunity to safely enjoy new flying experiences and adventures.
From hiking and fly in your favourite mountain to flat land flying, the Urubu Mk2 will deliver all you need to fly far, high with a lot of serenity and fun!
The only thing that is not included in the package is transportation to get you back home!

Target:

The Urubu Mk2 is aimed at pilots looking for a performant, light weight and versatile glider.

For cross country and hike and fly use:

the pilot should be able to deal with flying situations, making a proper analysis of the conditions, having good ground handling skills.
This would be “EN C pilots” in terms of piloting demandness (according to the EN C Class pilot requirement definition).

For Soaring use :

the pilot should be able to control his glider in any wind conditions, being aware of the brake travel, being able to control de dynamic movements whilst wingover, sharp turns.

 

Q/A :

Our prices are lower than most of our competitors, does that mean the gliders are lower quality?
Certification ?
Why not a 2-liner?
Why not 2.5-liner?
Why Nylon rods over Nitinol?
Why no B to C bridging?
Why don’t we speak about passive safety?

Warning :

As a paragliding manufacturer, we are working hard to push our product development to maximize safety!

Over the years, research has brought significant improvements!
But this is only a benefit to the pilots if they are not using this extra gain to push the limits further!

The past years, we clearly see a trivialization of flying stronger and stronger conditions, stronger and stronger winds.
As great improvements are made on the gliders, they won’t change the reality of the physics!

The best safety will remain your decisions! Improve your skills, improve your judgment on your capacities to understand where you are flying will help improve your decisions!

Kiterisers Compatibility :

Urubu Mk2 is 100% compatible with our Kiterisers system for soaring.
Kiterisers bring new sensations, improve accelerated flying understanding, an easy retrofit that you can change anytime.

LittleCloud risers :

Since 2012, we introduce a Y risers that can be connected to each other with a clip.
The purpose of this design was to simplify its handling, reduce the possibility of over pulling the “A” during inflation and being able to connect to your wing with the glider still unpacked for those windy days.

Thanks to their compacity, they are a piece of cake to prepare, untangled and connect to the harness.
They come with speed system, trimmers, both depending on the glider.
For the trimmers version, this Y shape allow an easier manipulation of the trims, as they are set up higher.

They are made of 12mm Kevlar webbing, light and ultra resistant!
The brake handles are held in place by raised magnets, making them easy to clean.

Har fått testet vingen på noen termikkturer og noen skliturer, og må si jeg er meget imponert over hvordan denne vingen leverer. Lett å starte baklengs og står kjempefint over hodet. I tubulent luft kan man kjenne at noe foregår, men vingen ligger fint på plass uten så mye fjas. Skulle man dra på litt ekstra i lufta er vingen ikke tung å be.
Risersettet er enkelt å ha med å gjøre og bremsehåndtakene behagelige. Vingen er grei å pakke og passer fint sammen med lettvektspod i Littlecloud sin «Bag with Airstructure». Kommer tilbake med mer når jeg har fått noen flere timer under vingen.
