About this model.

✅ The easiest inflation characteristics available period. Less prone to inadvertent inflation than a single skin glider. ✅ Low Take-Off Speed – for even the most uncooperative passengers. ✅ Real Flare capability – better than any single Skin. ✅ Very Light brake pressure. ✅ Un-matched Roll and pitch Stability, truly amazing!

Designed for both Paramotor and mountain flying, the Hybrid tandem delivers the easiest and smoothest flight experience possible for you and your passengers.

Certified EN-B with both Trimmers closed and Open, with a weight range from 110 to 190 Kg.

The Hybrid is much more than an exotic wing for special purposes. It offers many advantages over single skin designs and also classic wings in beginner to sport categories. Hybrid wings will become mainstream products within a few years, replacing many classic designs out there. We are proud that APCO is behind such an innovation!
