Little Cloud Gracchio REVIEW! (2019)

[@ouiserval]

I just bought a beautiful pink gracchio in 23m2. First flight this morning, what happiness !! it is fun, I love this feeling of being different. Thanks

[@SAYMOUN13]

Heyyyy Ari! It’s Simon the Swiss guy from Mexico! Nice video dude, I’m actually looking for a new glider and found this video with you on it! Was happy to see your face ahaha! Keep it real carnalll see you in the air

[@JorgeParagliding]

Man, that was a great review! You should do more! You have sparked my interest in the Gracchio for sure!

[@AriintheAir]

Hi Jorge! Thank you so much! I've done a few more, they're on this channel! Stay tuned for more, I'm getting Little Cloud's EN-D, the Gyps, next! Stoked!

[@Yangyang-1995-]

Little cloud is just so much fun!! I did SAT, backfly etc on the GT2.2 which is like a school wing. WOW everything is just super easy!!

[@hilschgerclement2012]

Hello is it possible to know the size of the sail and total weight (PTV) please? Thanks you so much

[@paraglidingtalk]

Sweet! You have a great skill in making reviews. I met Tom a few months back at Blossom. He was testing out a white wing that he didn't have a name for yet. I told him he should name it Blossom. LOL So if you see him come out with a wing called Blossom, I am the one who gave him that name. Gut Laughter* Great review my friend!

[@AriintheAir]

Thanks man! Yeah, he's an interesting guy. Very creative. Looking forward to his new EN-C class wing and the Grasshopper 2 Harness!

[@renejungbar4243]

Great looking wing, I got 100 under my belt and fly an Advance Iota2 currently. Is this little cloud suitable for?

[@ivanhoe6145]

Hi Ari. Great video and review of this wing. Would you recommend this Little Gracchio to a first timer? Thanks.

[@lyalya7205]

Great review! I have a question though. Is it floaty enough to be easy in the flatlands if you are in the middle of the weight range?

[@AriintheAir]

Of course it is!

[@PhilippeLarcher]

sounds like there is no tradeoff so I'm asking, what's the tradeoff? :D

[@scottreuse1487]

Ari in the Air again. 😎😝🍺👍

[@AriintheAir]

Thanks Scott!!! hahaha

[@dempart5558]

The stabilo lines are "design abominations". Awesome that this designer freed himself from this absurd constraint. I also love the idea of small leading edge openings for lower rated wings (and love the absence of stupid EN certification) The futur is even probably a sort of almost fully enclosed wing, with shark nose, DaVinci leading edge system, and small LE openings. I also love manufacturers who do not trim /twist the wing tips in a higher AOA than the center. Many designers do that to improve the safety artificially. this glider concept should be transfered also into a school type wing with even less AR. and maybe soon a PG with only 8 lines (a 2 liner with 2 lines per side)

[@AriintheAir]

x200 x6000000 glad to see someone paying attention to the details!

[@juanaguada5326]

HI Ari, how do you feel the wing in light conditions? My PTV is around 90 and I dont want to sink(size 23) thanks Juan

[@AriintheAir]

I flew it at 96kg the whole time

[@juanaguada5326]

@@AriintheAir thank you very much Ari

[@MikkelsenR]

Do you know how it is in comparison to the spiruline gt2?

[@louisdesclee7047]

Hey ari! Do you know why little cloud paragliders aren't EN certified?

[@AriintheAir]

I do! Thomas at Little Cloud knows that an EN Cert doesn't necissarily mean safety, there are a number of ways that the testing is outdated and so he doens't think its worth the huge money it costs to have them certified. It also keeps the price of his gliders down by not paying to certify. He's a very innovative and thoughtful guy, I loved working with him

[@louisdesclee7047]

@@AriintheAir Thank you! Awesome video btw ;) !

[@birkevensen3933]

Do you think the speed on this wing will prevent the usage of smaller thermals? I'm worried that I will just fly straight through.

[@AriintheAir]

Smaller wings means you can turn tighter and stay in the small thermals easier! And theres a size for everyone, from 21-27m

[@HashDeuso]

Hey Ari, Wondering if you ever felt like you could have needed a bigger size with your 85kg flying weight? Tom has made the 24 available and having the same flying weight as you I'm hesitating between 23 and 24m2. Cheers!

[@AriintheAir]

HI! I'm actually 95kg all up on the 23 and it works great. If you're 85kg, you want the 23!

[@HashDeuso]

@@AriintheAir thank you :)

[@ez230z]

Review now little cloud wings please!

[@ripmanridin7092]

Great review......miss ya man....................................no homo!

[@q062am]

See no good argument for lack of stabilo lines and lack of certification, maybe except to save cost. So small cell openings hardly translates automatically to high passive safety

[@ajroque]

The Gracchio have no the stabilo line because the glider don't need it for nothing! Also same thing for certification. Would be good only for competition. The smal cell openings is very good for better performance and for avoid violent and dinamic reactions when the glider reopen after the colapse. Try the Gracchio and will confirm all!

[@quoth_raven]

@@ajroque Without certification you´ll hardly sell any in germany, the largest paraglding market. So it begs the question, if it´s safe, why not certify?
