APCO Game MKIII robust tandem paraglider for free-flight and paramotor use
We check what fits your flying style, setup and requirements - especially for wings, motors, harnesses, reserves and complete sets.
APCO Game MKIII is a tandem paraglider for free flight and paramotor tandem use. APCO presents it as a robust development of the Game 42 for tandem pilots and demanding professional operation.
The construction combines a lightweight 27 g Skytex bottom surface with Gelvenor cloth on the front top surface. APCO states that this saves about 700 g while retaining the durability expected from a working tandem wing.
The wing is available in sizes 39 and 42. Size 39 has 39.6 m² flat area and size 42 has 42.5 m². Size selection must use the actual all-up weight with passenger, equipment and any motor or trike system.
For powered use APCO describes a relatively short take-off run and suitability even with smaller engines. For heavier trike applications the manufacturer recommends Play 42 or Play 42 UL.
Size 42 is listed with EN-B/LTF-B and DGAC Registration. For size 39 APCO lists EN 926-1. The extended trimmer range of size 42 is outside the official certification frame.
Before ordering, verify size, all-up weight, approval for the relevant country, riser/trimmer configuration, motor or trike setup, passenger operation and pilot experience.
