  • 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.

  • and also, how much does it cost?

  • It has a 2 hour range and costs approximately 18500 GB pounds including tax.

  • 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.

  • 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!
