The GT
Our goal is to achieve stability in roll and pitch, and a
large brake travel. Therefore, the GT has a low aspect ratio. The
best glide is obtained in hands up position.
From the first flights, feelings of ease and comfort are clearly felt.
The wingload offer high precision in steering. The pilot quickly
adaptsto slightly higher flight speeds and quickly discovered a
real piloting pleasure. The GT is dedicated to a large pubic of pilot.
The GT has a very wide range of possibilities : vol site, cross, flying in
still air, mountain flying, soaring, flying in stronger wind conditions,
flight sensations close to terrain thermal flying, and PPG. Only your
imagination will limit the versatility of The GT.
Risers
Wings are equipped with our mono-risers. Indeed, the three
branches A, B and C are much short. The main advantages are:
during the inflation, the leading edge is less stressed, giving a
more compact inflation. This also allowed us to use the SLC sys-
tem that allows the pilot to correctly connect to the glider without
having to unfold it: an explanatory video is available on the website
“Www.littlecloud.fr”.
Note that this system does not exempt a complete pre-flight check.
Note that the attachments of the speed system are about 15cm
higher than on a Standard risers.
First flight with the GT
It is strongly advised to practice ground handling before the first flight.
Note: For frontward take off, think to stick your elbows close to the
body. this will not over stressed the wingtips and inflation will be
more compact and faster.
The first flights are done far from the ground to understand the
response of the toggle input in the first turns. You’ll be able then to
figure out the altitude loss in the different kind of turns.
We recommend U approach for landing. No steep bank turn close
to the ground and a long final is recommended. Apply some brake
to flair the ground, then fully use the brake range to stop once your
speed has been reduced.
Important point: we strongly advise against a takeoff with a partially
inflated glider or without total control in pitch and roll . Practice again
and again ground handling. It is very fun and nothing is more effective
in understanding the reactions of your GT. Practicing ground handling
and kitting is best way to increase your skills for safe takeoff control.

Harness
We recommend for The GT to use split leg harness. They have
several advantages: comfortable, less transmission of the move-
ments of the wing. To cancel the roll movements, we advise you to
fly with open waist belt. But the GT can be used without any prob-
lems with a seat plate harness.
Note: your harness is equipped with alu/zicral carabiners:
we recommend changing them every 5 years, and in case you your
harness, remove them and put new ones one. We recommend you
maintain your harness at all times and be sure to replace or fix any
issues that may present themselves before flying.
The reserve
There are no additional recommendations to those recommended
by the manufacturer of the parachute you will use . If you have any
questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Advanced flights
The GT have a great potential of usable speeds and quite collapse resistant
in turbulent conditions . Nevertheless, we wish to clarify that The GT does
not change turbulent or windy conditions in calm conditions.
Thermal flying
To exploit the thermal, it will be necessary to slow down the glider
just a bit. You will adapt your piloting to limit the banked turns
and improve thermal performance by using the outside toggle. The
small turning radius allows you to center the thermal core.
