Une grande marque de parapentes et sellettes, un peu oubliée en France où elle cherche d’ailleurs à étoffer son réseau de représentants. Tout ceci pourrait bien changer tant la Swift R présente de qualités en efficacité, confort, finitions, poids et prix…

I am a new Pilot and all though I do not have many flights right now under my belt I wanted to let you know how awesome your Edge Harness is, well I don’t have to tell you how awesome it is but my experience with it was awesome. I felt so comfortable and when leaning into my turns I would wrap around me as if I were part of the harness.
I look forward to finishing my instruction and earn my rating and taking my first cross country flight in what has to be the most comfortable harness out there.
You can count on me as a return customer and promoter of APCO products. Thanks again!

We were recently asked about the agility of the wings we fly (Apco Lift). Quite often Lift is considered to be stable and fast but not very agile wing. However, the true character of the wing is revealed when you use the main brakes and the small side ones together. Wing changes its behaviour drastically and follows your inputs instantly. Wingovers are not a problem at all and the wing goes into deep spiral easily.

Chairbag Review in Chinese
a Decade ago I sat deep in conversation with Rob Whittall. We’d just come back from an expedition to the Himalayas, where both of us had failed to enjoy the cumbersome weights of the paraglider bags that had hung from our backs like Quasimodo’s hump – ironically they even made us walk like him! We’d been humping (excuse the pun) 35 kg around in our unshapely, poorly designed sacks for days on end. It was agony. Clearly something had to give, and hopefully it wouldn’t be our backs. We looked at what gear we could leave behind next time and realised we already had it down to the bare minimum. Lightweight fabrics hadn’t reached the market yet, so losing much off the wings was out the question. Only one area of our kit stood loud and proud as the obvious place we could lose weight: our harnesses and bags. I mean, for a starter, surely we didn’t need both?
Plus h!geres, confortables et techniques! Les constructeurs innovent en permanence pour combiner au mieux confort, poids, pilotage et accessoires. Pour Ie pilote, iI est important de ne pas se tromper car la sellette est un produit que I’on conserve generalement longtemps. La tendance semble s’orienter vers des modeles plus h!gers sans conceder a la solidite ni basculer sur Ie tres leger version fragile. Ici, presentation synthetique de 6 nouvelles sellettes testees en detail dans PP+ durant I’annee 2011. On pourra aussi se referer au PP+ n° 412 ou 8 autres sellettes toujours commercialisees etaient deja presentees. Avec 14 modeles on a deja un joli choix!
