how large is it

whats the cruise speed?

Like a hangglider

The glide ratio is not as important in an ultralight since they fly slower you're also descending slower, so you can take advantage of more sources of lift. It's a different niche.

Looks very pretty. Especially the transparent wings. And a bargain price! What kind of construction is it?
-
Well it sucks for a glider, but for an _ultralight_ glider it's not bad.
-
Well that's the effect this glider has on people!

for that sort of money, you could buy a descent used glider like an ASW 24, which looks much nicer..

You have missed the point, it is half the weight, folds down to fit in and on a family car and is brand new, not second hand.
The Alatus / AL12M is a self launcher, the price includes the power plant.

how long can the engine last until it dies?

The engine is the Corsair Black Devil, with proper maintenance it will last indefinitely. Realistically, I would guess 500 to 1000 hours or 5 to 10 years of service.
