Archaeopteryx ultra light glider

Archaeopteryx


They have used the name of a prehistorix animal, but their glider is quite the opposite from prhistoric.
There seems to be a surge of ultralight glider development the last couple of years and Archaeopteryx is a nice example of this development.

Their youtube channel has quite some interesting movie like this one.

The machine has become a bit on the complicated side so, factory training is required when buying one. But the you have a glider almost on par with  "real glider" but still manageable more or less on your own.
Let's hope these guys at ruppert composite will be commercially succesfull as it is a very intruiging free flight class.

Their website speaks for itself, but is a bit low on pictures ...

 

This last picture is from my "archive" and from their developmental period.
