Frequently asked questions about the APCO Hybrid Tandem.
How is the Hybrid Tandem certified?
The wing is certified EN B in the tandem size 35 and additionally DGAC-registered. Unlike several other models in the range there are no size differences in the certification — there is one size, and the EN-B classification exists for it.
What is the difference between the free-flight and the paramotor version?
The Hybrid Tandem comes in two versions. They differ in the risers: the paramotor version comes with the riser configuration suited to powered flying. Decide on the version before ordering — switching later means new risers, not just an adjustment.
What is the warranty — and why is it shorter than on other APCO wings?
The Hybrid Tandem carries 1 year or 100 flight hours, exclusively for manufacturing defects. That is considerably less than the 3 years / 250 hours APCO grants on most other models, and we say so openly: on a tandem in commercial use, 100 hours are reached quickly. Factor that in if you use the wing for passenger flights.
What is a hybrid profile and what does it bring on a tandem?
The hybrid profile combines closed and open profile areas. On a tandem this pays off above all in weight — on a wing you carry to launch together with two harnesses and a reserve, every saved kilo is noticeable. Added to that: a shark-nose leading edge and the FLEXON rod system in the ribs. Speeds: trim 35 km/h, maximum above 45 km/h, minimum sink 1.1 m/s.
What licence do I need?
In the DACH region a tandem rating is required in addition to the regular pilot licence. For paid passenger flights, commercial requirements and suitable insurance apply; the rules differ between Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Clarify with your federation before ordering.
What cloth is the wing made of and which colours are there?
Skytex in 27 and 33 g/m², both zero-porosity ripstop nylon — the lighter cloth weights, matching the lightweight design of the hybrid profile. The colour option is Blue/White/Lime.
