The Fast One :: F1 MKII – the pinnacle of achievement in technology, performance and feel. A precision tool that in the right hands will produce incomparable results. Our objectives were to produce the best performing high end cross country wing on the market. Safety was the first priority which framed all other parameters and we are extremely proud of the final result.
The F1 MKII is in a class of its own! A cross country wing, intended for classic competitions in real life conditions – a fast , efficient flying machine, that you can push all way to the max even in turbulent competition days. Combining high aspect ratio with a full reflex profile results in performance and efficiency which are packaged into a very user friendly, coherent product that will take any experienced pilot to the next level!
The addition of the APCO Mohawk allowed us to tune the wing to be even more agile and efficient in sharp maneuvers. The Mohawk serves as a rudder which improves both roll stability and safety in spirals with a fastrer, smoother autonomous exit.
Incorporated into the F1 MKII are our Flow Aligned Ribs (FAR) feature, morphing direction from center to tip, it aligns the ribs with the natural direction of the flow, increasing both performance and stability throughout the speed range.
