Puffin design
The latest Gracchio Mk2 was used as a base, with specific changes necessary for soaring and high wing loading. With just a few cells less, the Puffin gains in balance and accessibility, without losing efficiency and penetration in the wind. Thanks to our incredible aerodynamic profile. The wing's precision and progressiveness have improved, making it a real pleasure to fly!
The aspect ratio varies according to size to optimize the performance/accessibility/safety ratio to the maximum. Thanks to our unrivalled experience in mini wing design, the wing remains extremely accessible and forgiving for a maximum number of pilots, even if the technical data may worry many for such high wing loads.
The Puffin delivers a level of fun that you have to be prepared to put up with.
Pilots will choose their size according to the wind range in which they wish to fly, bearing in mind that flying in strong winds requires experience and skill to fly safely.
The LittleCloud DNA is of course there for all to see: legendary pitch stability, precise and direct handling, very large control travel, maximum intuitiveness, high passive safety... It includes new features for use in the sand: a sand evacuation tunnel on the trailing edge with specific dirtouts so that the sand comes out even when flying. The use of Ronstan Orbits brake pulleys means no jamming in the sand.
Oh, of course, Puffins can be used for Hike and Fly or thermal flying... LittleCloud versatility.
