Characteristics
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Take-off | The APP profile with lighter materials provides an easy, balanced inflation; the wing rises easily and controllably overhead. |
| Landing | Simple, predictable approach and flare to a standstill. |
| Thermalling | The wing settles easily into a constant bank angle in a thermal and needs little input once centred. |
| Performance | Best glide is achieved at one-third speed bar; the APP profile keeps the wing pressurised across the speed range. |
| Pilot feedback | The wing is described as easy to understand, reassuring and precise in pilot feedback. |
| Construction | The double-siliconized top surface and lighter bottom and internal materials save weight without compromising durability. |
