Dear Sally and Jonathan
Just received the first Hybrid and Wow just simply WOW. I can say that I
believe this is the best piece of kit APCO has ever made and that says a lot
from me who has flown almost every Paraglider APCO has ever made.
Thank You
Now can we please order a Large Hybrid as soon as possible in colour Surf #27
Thank you
Keith

Hi Jonathan. flew the hybrid first time today. almost no wind at the take off. The glider comes up surprisingly fast. no overshooting at all. The takeoff speed is quite low and it carries the pilot’s weight soon. good feddbackk on brakes during launch.

Flying in the Hybrid was an amazing and surprinsingly experience.
Opening the Paraglider, the lightness, the quality of the materials and the geniality of the project already impresses.
Inflating can be even easier than a normal wing. With light weight and great efficiency the glider rises fast and easy, but before you feel the need to contain the pitch it already stops in your head by itself. I can not think of a better wing for takeoffs with no wind. In addition, the proposals is to take off with up to 3km of back wind. It is certainly a very interesting feature for days with undefined wind.
During the flight the first sensation is almost to levitate, light but with great stability. Even flying in a condition with thermals above 5m / s it’s behavior was extremely docile! You take 5 min to fall in love !!! The brakes are precise and have a very progressive weight which provides a very pleasant flight. Even climbing on a strong thermal the glider responds immediately with very tight turns and very stable when turning flat.
Definitely a beautiful wing flies well! In addition to great features the hybrid has a beautiful shape. Both seen from below by the pilot and from outside. Fluid lines and lots of harmony.
The landing was also very easy and very resourceful.
I cannot wait to receive my hybrid. The most amazing wing I’ve ever flown and surely one of my next toys that I’ll use the most.

Hello APCO,
I want to thank you for making this wing, it is the best tandem I have ever flown and I could not be happier! Take-off and landing is easier than anything I had and brake pressure is same as my private LIFT PPG wing
Congratulations!

We have worked very hard the previous month and now we can more reliably share with you our opinion and impressions regarding your tandem paraglider Game 42, with which only made a little more than 70 hours of air time.
As I said earlier we are a professional tandem pilots and so far we used quite a lot of different tandem paragliders.
Our opinions and impressions) that Game42 really good paraglider.
Take-off – very well.
Landing – excellent and in conditions without wind even with demanding passengers.
Flying in thermals – excellent behaves like a single wing.
Acro maneuvers – a good, slightly more demanding than some tandems in my opinion because of the greater length of the lines.
With best regards from Montenegro.

The handling is very good and the slow take off and landing speed along with the speed to lift conversion impressed me and my passengers did like the nil wind easy take off and the very gentle nil wind landing. Any feedback is appreciated and would it be okay to mention yourself and quote your comments that refer to the Game 42?
Glide and sink rate did surprise me and from my brief use of the wing the best sink rate was at slow trim (fully closed) with the best glide at trimmers set at the red line (in neutral conditions of course).
The handling is very direct with a nice feeling through the brakes. It was super easy to top land in a tight spot with so much Brake travel at its disposal…
