Pilot Review :: F1 :: Marlon Jonat

Polina Klikarova — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 10:34:49 +0000

I now have about 10 hours of flying the APCO F1 with the motor and I am really impressed! I also took many videos of it and I tested nearly every manoeuvre, spiral, wingover, barrel roll, sat, stall, collapse and accelerated collapses. The wing is just amazing and I really like it! It is my number one “go to” wing when I fly with motor just for fun!

F1 ::: Pilot Comment ::: Tero Vesala

A positive thing though is that the F1 truly is a magnificent piece of equipment. You have really accomplished something remarkable with it. It does all you promised and then some. I only have some 10 hrs on it now, due to some bad weather, I can’t wait to fly it some more. I felt instantly at home with the F1, it gives me a sensation of confidence, I feel like this wing is not restricting my flying, but it does everything I ask from it.

NRG3 Energy You Feel From the Ground Up

Polina Klikarova — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 20:12:02 +0000

At the moment, I haven’t had the opportunity to test the NRG3 in flight due to conditions. However, I’ve completed several ground-handling sessions to start evaluating its initial behavior and sensations.

From the very first contact, the NRG3 communicates lightness, precision, and character.
During inflation, it stands out for its clean and progressive rise. The wing comes up perfectly symmetrical, even without actively using the A-risers, demonstrating excellent tension management and a highly refined internal structure.
The pressure remains consistent and balanced throughout the entire inflation phase, providing a natural sense of control. There are no abrupt movements or unexpected reactions — everything feels smooth, predictable, and intuitive.
When opening the Mohawk, the structure feels firm and compact. The NRG3 settles overhead with remarkable stability, staying centered without the need for brake input to keep it balanced. This immediate overhead stability builds confidence and hints at a precise and well-tuned behavior in the air.
The first impression is clear: the NRG3 is designed not only for performance, but for delivering it with efficiency, control, and ease from the very first moment.

Very impressed by the top speed, especially taking into consideration the slow take-off. This was unexpected!
With the Mohawk closed it is a super hot wing!
Great job guys – put me down for one of each size ASAP

Pilot Comment :: Voyager :: Bill Wallace

Good morning, Jonathan. I flew a 235-pound passenger with my Cruiser GT 550 Standard, and then I flew him the next day with the new chute, identical aircraft conditions, night and day difference. I cannot believe how much better the new one flies, how much easier the foot bars push, and how much quicker it responds. If you would please put me on for the first one. I want to buy one as soon as I can and get it on mine for training. Again, excellent job, you guys. You absolutely crushed it on this one. I wish we could make it out for the public as soon as possible. Have a good day, and can’t wait to get one of those and put it on my aircraft.

Pilot Comment :: Nestra Light :: Rick Hawkeswood

Sally Cohen — Mon, 05 May 2025 10:49:50 +0000

I had the 2^nd flight in the Nestra Light this week comparing it on long glides with a Swift 6 MS size wing which was being flown at max weight range. On the Nestra M at 91kg (all up weight including wing) I had slightly better speed and glide at half speed bar (could not test at full speed bar position as I had not quite adjusted speed bar lines correctly). I will ballast another few kg and compare again, it will be interesting to see how the 2 wings compare at higher speeds when both wings are flown near max wing loading.

Regards,

Rick.
