I own the original Stark, and I love the way it fly's. Are the airfoils derived from anything we'd be familiar with? Can you give us any details about the airfoils? How many were created for this wing? How much twist did you use? It looks like a beautiful DLG. I like the planform.

We used 5 different airfoils along the wingspan for AURI. All airfoils are the next generation of foils we created for Stark and Stark Pro. So the AURI's behaviour is close to Stark and Pro when piloting. This airfoils are noticeable thinner, but still have very wide range of AOA. In piloting they are still smooth and gentle and it allows to circle how you want: flat big circles or tight small turns. ![]() ![]() ![]() At the last picture green plots are Stark root airfoil, red plots are Stark Pro root airfoil and orange are AURI root airfoils.

The forecast promised a light breeze with 3-4 meters in necessary direction yesterday. Therefore I decided to go to my favorite slope spot .
How I was disappointed when arrived at the spot and found out that there was no wind at all. Absolutely calm. An hour and a half of driving through a dead roads and such fiasco. But I decided to take out a glider and to do some flying. What was my surprise when I have slightly pushed my AURI and did 8-10 minute flight ! Landed it and tried measure the wind with my anemometer and it showed 0!! No slightest whiff and stir of wind was felt! I have made one half-hour flight with a lot of fun and inverted flyng and some aerobatics. Honestly I haven't understood in what the glider flew, but this very abrupt feeling when the glider can fly in what in general isn't fixed by an eye or other feelings in any way! At the very end asked my friends to take a short video with a beautiful sunset at the backstage.
