Just want to thank all the design engineers for the work and effort that apco has put into the Voyager  parachute. That chute is absolutely phenomenal. I am running almost 300rpm less to maintain level flight. That is a significant savings in fuel, which means longer flight times. It climbs faster and decends slower. It is extremely responsive and turns on a dime. And the foot pressure is extremely light compared to the GT. The glideslope is so much flatter which is so absolutely unbelievable. A much safer chute because the glideslope gives the pilot more time and choices to pick out a suitable landing spot in the event of an engine out. Thanks again for creating such a quality product.

I purchased the new chute from Bill Wallace and I must say Bill is very knowledgeable and is extremely supportive of his customers. He is a pleasure to do business with.

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.

I have flown this wing and it takes the Apco Cruiser to the next level. Please feel free to call me with any questions.

I saw Bill testing this prototype when I was at x35. The colors were a perfect match for my machine. I didn’t know at the time it was a new design and the only one in the USA. Bill Wallace sold me the wing and boy oh boy, this thing kites like a dream, steering is easier, handles and reacts quick. I live this wing. Thank you to Johnathan Cohn, Bill Wallace and Apco Aviation for selling me this awesomeness!!!

 just recently flew my Powrachute Airwolf Rotax 912 ULS with your Cruiser wing. I want to tell you how happy I am with it. Inflation is easy and it wants to get up and fly.
Thanks, APCO

We test flew the 400 Cruiser this morning. It did not disappoint. You guys have done another fantastic job of producing an excellent flying chute.  I have gotten many excellent reviews from pilots on Facebook. I believe that they will generate into sales. Please let the Apco team know how much we like the chute. 

I have been flying a 450 lift since 2012 and actually am on my 2nd 450 wing. My wife and I love everything about it. Quick, responsive, agile and safe. What else could a PPC pilot want in a wing? Thats why I said thank you for making this wing. It has made flying so much more enjoyable.

Sincerely,
Angelo and Sheila Chirico

Flew my nice new Apco cruiser 550 today, solo. Did 15 minutes, landed to take someone up to try with additional weight.
Here’s how the solo test flight went. Kite up was quick, cells open, no waiting for

I have only about 1 hour on the lift 450 but have fallen in love
with it. We will be demonstrating it to some other dealers soon.
Already setting up appointments.
I am flying it on a Destiny XLT with 260 hrs. total time on it.
We flew beside it in a new Destiny XLT with 60 hours on it and a
standard APCO 550. We did the same manuevours as you did in your
advertisement. We came out with the same results. For the same level
flight the tack on the 450 read 4360rpm and the other APCO chute was
reading 5180. Glide was a lot farther in the 450. Climb just wasn’t
a contest as the 450 went up twice as fast as the other plane. The
450 was mounted on a Destiny XLT, with a 62inch spread at the hang
point. Risers were the longer 60″ risers. We will try later with the
50inch risers.
With this all said, I would like a quote on 3 more Lift 450’s.
One of each color.
