100% gonna go over and get some chicken eggs and make breakfast :) Thanks for getting us the review on the slingshot wing.. They don't have much of an online presence anymore.. I watch any and every video you have on winging.. So thanks for taking your morning to get us the info..
Depends on the wing but typically, yes. The Aluula frame is stiffer which translates to a more consistent air foil and power transmission. Because it's so much stiffer you can also build it with narrower bladders for less drag through the wind and more effective canopy efficiency. -Tucker
Great review! How about the longevity of Alula? Is it still that bad over time especially when too much in direct sunlight? If so , this should get mentioned for any Alula wing.
Yes, the flaking gold outer layer issues seems to be resolved now. Not that it was a major problem except for looking ratty. As with any wing, avoid unnecessary UV exposure and pack it away dry. -Tucker

Thank you, it would not be bad to take the scales first, weigh the wing with and without a backpack

AKSeapilot, fly on over and let's have a session and egg breakfast ;) Appreciate your support! -Tucker
So upwind and speed is better with aluula?
Yeah less drag.
With double canopy upwind and speed are even better.
