Little Cloud have upgraded their performance glider, the Goose, to “increase its useable range without losing the fun factor”. The result is the Goose Mk2, which has a higher aspect ratio and greater than 10:1 glide angle.
It’s a “super performant” glider, aimed at pilors who might usually fly an EN C wing, although Little Cloud do not plan to certify the Goose Mk2, because of “the philosophy drift” of the EN norm. “There is a gap getting too big between real life and EN test”, they feel.
Little Cloud say the Goose Mk2’s characteristics include a fast inflation and easy take-off even in nil-wind. It is pitch-stable with direct handling, but progressive brake travel makes thermalling in lighter conditions easier. The brake travel is over 60cm, add Little Cloud.
The Goose MK2 has a thicker profile, which gives it better stability and collapse-resistance, and its slightly larger sizing makes it more comfortable for longer flights.
It is available in two sizes: L(21m2) and XL(22m2), weighing 4.2kg and 4.4kg.
