Скачать или смотреть DreamFlight Alula Trek DLG Soaring at Amundön

After throwing and trimming my Alula on my local meadow I decided to test the "Trek" part, stuffed it in my Haglöfs backpack and went down to the island Amundön.

The original intention was to just have some more space to practice discus-launching but eventually I tried to slope-soar it on the almost non-existent slope on the edge of the sea.

The hard wind flatters my beginners throwing technique. Also, I forgot to bring the tape and managed to rip a wing off and break one of the plastic tubes inside. So -TAPE NEEDED FOR HARD DLG. But it was easily fixed and it flew after minor glueing.

Since this outing, I have smeared a thin layer UHU Por on the leading edge of the wing, the edge of the fin and also on the nose. I added regular clear 3M tape on the leading edge to protect it from scratches and make the plane more rugged.

The Alula flies incredibly good and has a surprisingly wide speed range. The practical limit is perhaps 7-8 m/s even with ballast.
