AL-12: New ultralight sailplane
The US distributor of Aeros hang gliders has announced that the
Ukranian company's ultralight sailplane has had it's first flight. This craft was built using the wing of Aero's rigid wing hang glider, the Stalker. It was designed to be towed up by the same tugs hang gliders use. I wonder what happens when one tries to tow an ultralight sailplane with the same towplanes we use? Some specs: Weight: 80 kilos Stall speed: 34-40 kph VNE: 140 kph Max L/D: 27 at 60 kph Min sink: .5 - .6 (units not specified) at 45 kph Details (very few) and photos at http://www.justfly.com/news/al12info.htm
