We check what fits your flying style, setup and requirements - especially for wings, motors, harnesses, reserves and complete sets.
The APCO Game MKIII is a tandem paraglider for free flight and paramotor tandem. It continues the line of the Game 42 and, according to APCO, is built for demanding professional use.
The profile is a shark nose (APP): the air intake sits further back on the bottom surface, so internal pressure rises with speed; APCO therefore describes the wing as particularly stable when accelerated.
The risers are made of stiff 20 mm webbing with a Paracam roller camet, a magnet against trimmer flapping and an optional extended speed range. The brake handles have a T-bar and a swivel; trailing edge tensioners keep the trailing edge clean.
Size 42 is certified EN-B/LTF-B and DGAC, size 39 to EN 926-1. APCO also tested size 42 at 110 kg: with the trimmers between neutral and open it is then within the EN-B certification frame.
