2INTRODUCTION
The F1 is the result of our quest to bring safe, top speed and performance at incredible efficiency to
experienced pilots across all paramotor disciplines.
The F1 uses an advanced Reflex profile, to increase both performance and stability throughout the
speed range.
The sail tension has been optimised to give the wing incredible rigidity without negatively affecting
performance, so the wing is and feels very solid and reassuring in flight.
The riser / speed system / trim system was re-designed to incorporate all of Apco’s ground-breaking
technologies, and has a greater usable range than any wing we have built before, meaning you can
launch and land at reasonable speeds, but open up with comfort for the race, or the perfect long
distance XC flight you’ve been dreaming about –but, be warned, unless your friends are on the F1 too,
you will be flying alone.
Although the F1 is not a dual-use wing, with the trimmers closed, the F1 will thermal much like a
paraglider, and has exceptional glide ratio too, so if you like to mix it up on a good day, idle or cut the
motor and crank it up to cloudbase with ease.
Handling is precise and predictable, with the ability to turn anything from a flat low sink rate
thermaling turn, to slalom perfection.
Inflation is very easy, and does not tend to overfly the pilot.
