                    PRIMA 4        

Prima was born in the early 1990's. Since then thousands have been delivered, faithfully serving in paragliding schools all over the world.

Probably the longest produced classic trainer - it is equally well suited for teaching free flying and perfect for entry level paramotoring.

Now this classic wing has been modernised once again - the 3rd version of the wing has been released on the market. The wing is exactly the same as before, but has improved flare and adaptability for paramotor flying. The canopy is also more rigid (no tip movement), with redesigned, modern handling - direct and responsive in comparison with Prima II.

To refresh and distinguish,
Prima III has been dressed in a new colour design »

The rest of
Prima specifications remain the same. As always, produced from bomb proof, indestructable Gelvenor cloth combined with heavy duty lines, to ensure long lasting life Many schools are amazed, unbelievably witnessing the years of service Prima can deliver. All this for a little cost - specially designed to be affordable for all. As a schooling/entry level glider it is still the best investment on the market.

                 Karma Sport           

KARMA SPORT (KARMA SP) -
APCO's new beginner / intermediate wing.
It belongs to the Karma family and is designed to satisfy pilots who desire top notch, sharp handling. A lightweight, pilot friendly, easy launching, safe, fun wing.

It is offered side by side with Karma. We felt that now is the time to launch an additional beginner / intermediate wing which has a lot in common with Karma's philosophy, but is aimed at pilots looking for something different - a glider with sharp, immediate response (handling inspired by Vista), a glider in line with the recent trend for a light, low weight, low pack volume wing - the result is KARMA SP.

With performance above the Karma and wings weight lighter by almost a kilo, KARMA SP feels fresh, fun and reassuring. Equipped with all new FLEXON battens across the span on L/E, significantly lower line drag, made from new lightweight cloth - KARMA SP is our latest masterpiece for you to appreciate. 

 

KARMA SP Paramotor Version

KARMA SP was extensively tested for free flying as well as under power and its equally well suited for both - making it a great wing for paramotor lovers too. Those of you who love Karma will love the SP even more. The KARMA SP's overall behaviour is perfectly tuned for motorised flight. From easy nil wind inflation and launching to ultra-safe stability, the KARMA SP offers the ideal solution for paramotor schools and pilots - comes on request with purpose built risers with trimmers.

VISTA HP - APCO's high end, hybrid reflex technology paramotor wing - purpose built and tuned for pilots who seek uncompromised safety, peak performance and fine handling.

From Prima IV to our tandems - Play 42 and Fun 42 - VISTA HP completes APCO's already extensive paramotor range, offering the ultimate choice for the most discriminating paramotor pilot.

Available in 2 sizes - VISTA HP S and M - covering weight range from 70kg.-165kg.

EN Certification flight tests confirm the outstanding safety of the wings.

VISTA HP size S - Class B rated
VISTA HP size M - Class C rated
(all maneuvers rated A and B, except one C for brake range travel at maximum weight- too short)

VISTA HP completes APCO's already extensive paramotor range, from Prima IV to our tandems - Play 42 and Fun 42 (in total over 10 wings - the right wing to suit every pilot)

VISTA HP is a direct result of pilot feedback and the demand for higher performing, quicker handling, wide speed range wing, which could stand up successfully to latest generation of reflex wings.

Featuring competitive speed range and performance, combined with the classic virtues of APCO's paramotoring range - this is what makes the VISTA HP a true winner. Perfect launch and flare, even lighter brake pressure and more responsive, direct handling than you are used to from APCO wings, delightful and reassuring.

To sum up, the design brief for VISTA HP was to combine the advantages of APCO paramotor wings with reflex type wings - ultimately to produce a wing which could outperform Thrust HP as well as rival reflex wings. VISTA HP 's design concept is based on evolution of Thrust HP. Using APCO's proven hybrid reflex profile technology on a high performance platform, is what VISTA HP is about. Converting VISTA HP profile into full reflex profile when accelerated, retaining the advantages of easy launch and flare at the lower end of the speed range is the key to its success. A number of Apco unique features incorporated into its design.

Out of gas (expensive today) – VISTA HP is well suited to free flying too and can be supplied with paragliding risers on request. It is an excellent free style ACRO wing and very potent, fast cross country wing many of you will enjoy.

 

 
     pm                 THRUST 2009                       

THRUST 2009 –our purpose built paramotor wing now seriously improved for the coming season. Last year's best seller is now an even greater wing. Renamed THRUST 2009 (or for short THRUST 09).

Thrust has claimed worldwide fame as one of the most desirable paramotor wings. After serving for a number of years it is time to launch a new, updated version of this great wing.
It is based on the philosophy of Thrust, but we have incorporated all the latest, cutting edge materials and innovations to make it a better performing, longer lasting, easier handling, much lighter wing

THRUST 2009 design is focused on:

*          Launch - spotless - no matter wind or no wind, cross or tail on every hill, any time of the year - easy as never before

*          Ground Handling – THRUST 2009 positions itself over head with no effort and just hovers there even in the slightest wind with no sign of collapse, waiting for the pilot to be ready to accelerate into the air

*          In the air the wing acceleration is smooth, and THRUST 2009 willingly responds to the engine’s thrust

*          Handling - light, precise, immediate

*          Flying - awesome

*          Safety – unshakable

*          Landing – piece of cake!

Out of gas (expensive today) – THRUST 2009 is well suited to free flying too and can be supplied with paragliding risers on request.

 

 
   pm                                         THRUST HP                       

The Thrust HP project mission was to combine the advantages of the Thrust in low speeds with the latest Reflex profile technology in high speeds to yield a specialized paramotor wing that would offer true high performance yet retain the friendliness and safety of the Thrust.
The
Thrust HP employs a unique patent-pending Automatic Stall Recovery System (SRS) that allows the pilot fly and launch at amazingly low speed despite the high wing loading. It prevents the wing and pilot from stalling at critical angle of attacks and aids in automatic recovery in case of a stall.
New refreshing top surface
designs and features such as the SRS, HIT valves , Flexon battens, Swivels and Neodymium magnets examplify APCO's uncompromising attention to detail. The Thrust HP is a versatile high performance paramotor wing for pilots who wish to stretch their flight envelope and keep their smile in the air.

Twister 2007 Limited Edition - Striking new colour designs.

Only a few months out , the Twister 18 is rapidly gaining approval among top pilots on the Acro circuit . The Twister's unique profile offers excellent dynamics, handling and safety for an aerobatic wing. Expert coastal pilots are discovering the joy of soaring in high winds until now reserved only for hang-gliders. A signature Limited Edition batch with a refreshing asymmetric graphic design has been in production since January 2007.

Now, beginning of July 2007, and following the recent success of the Twister 18, we are launching the Twister 16 for lighter pilots (and those looking for more adrenalin).

We're convinced there's no Acro wing quite like the Twister but don't take our word. Just fly one !
