  • Always amazes me how quick the wing lifts from the ground.

  • It looks like a wonderful soaring machine, specially under very light thermal conditions. I would like to see a video where the Alatus AL-12 is soaring gracefully along a mountain slope.

  • How much does this sailplane cost?

  • @ajony Depends if the Alatus would fall in the FAR103 category... If it qualifies, then you don't, just training. But if it fails the FAR103, then you'd have to have a sport pilot's license...

  • @nocalsteve,

    I'm talking from a neophyte perspective. I want to try this this Summer (w/a tow plane). It looks like it barely has enough oomph to get it done. Datz all I'z sayin.

  • @neomuttley Not as anemic as a regular glider without a tow plane.

  • That looked pretty anemic. Even in no wind conditions. No Thank You.

  • very nice

  • do u need license to fly these things in usa?
