Thomas Mistretta of Dragonfly Paragliding – Florida, USA, goes live on his first flight on the Apco Hybrid, and gives his first impressions of the wing.

“Hi Sally, Yes, I received the Hybrid and have a couple of students this weekend. Going to try and use the Hybrid and promote it more for new students. I have flown it and it’s the easiest inflating glider I’ve ever tried. I posted a first time free flight review / impressions and liked it a lot.

Hi Sally,
Wanted to pass to you and to all the Team there the admirations expressed by one of our students here who is flying the Hybrid. The glider serves…

Hi Jonathan

I am very impressed with the Hybrid, it’s roll stability is unmatched on anything I’ve flown. Perfect for students. There is a pitch oscillation on launch if the student over powers the inflation but it settles down very well.

Rave Review for the Apco Hybrid in German: “Mit dem Hybrid betritt der israelische Hersteller den mittlerweile heiß umkämpften Markt der Singleskins. Halt! Genau genommen ist der Hybrid nur ein halber Singleskin, denn der vordere Teil des Flügels ist herkömmlich mit Ober- und Untersegel ausgestattet …”

Check out the Karisma today ? . Even though a beginner glider , I am starting to love it more and more each flight ?

The Karisma, is great, I have to say the brake travel is a bit short and more responsive  than a regular ENA glider, which is good if the student have good sense of pitch control .

Yeah nice beginner glider with a very thick fabric which good for durability, love the shark nose,nice glide and is fast!

Our Primas are starting to get old but I refuse to teach the first days on anything else…

Is there an APCO AVIATION SPECIAL on buying many Primas at once……hahaha.

Replacing line sets on some of them from 1993 is just not feasible anymore.
And yes we still have them flying and they still work perfectly and have saved many a student with poor skills. To me there is just nothing better and everyday out I find at least one Instructor saying Prima saved that ass because they truly do.

Thank you

For decades the perpetual question in paraglider design has been whether or not the art has reached a pinnacle, leaving nowhere else for innovation or performance to go. Yet, despite naysayers proposing that there is nothing original left to achieve, there are still surprises …
