APCO VISTA6 EN-B PARAGLIDER

APCO VISTA6 have released the Vista VI, their new EN-B paraglider which they describe as an XC wing for “talented beginners and up”. It fits in their range between the EN-A Karisma II and the high-B Nestra Light.

A three-riser design it is offered with a choice of risers, with or without C-steering for free-flight, and also with paramotor risers. Apco say it’s “designed for performance and fine-tuned for easy flying”.

It is made from coated and siliconised fabrics in 42g/m² (top surface) and 27g/m² (bottom surface). The lower lines are sheathed, mids and uppers are unsheathed.

The Vista VI is available in four sizes and three standard colour schemes, Azure, Fire (pictured) and Ice.

Additional main features of the Vista VI:

• Impressive performance for the category, Designed for performance, and fine tuned for easy flying!
• Lightweight, yet durable – Vista VI starts at 4.6 kg. without sacrificing any durability whatsoever!
• True 3 liner throughout the span of the glider down to the risers
• Optimized line materials – sheathed bottom lines, connected to unsheathed middle and top floor lines for weight saving and aerodynamics.
• Mini ribs (MRB) – for laminar trailing edge flow.
• 3D Cut on both top and bottom surface. For clean, wrinkle-free surfaces.
• Brake Tensioners on trailing edge – progressive and responsive brake action.

The Vista VI is also available with motor risers.
The lightweight canopy makes a huge difference for nil wind forward launches. Its pitch stability turns it into a very pleasant paramotor wing as it cuts through the air almost unaffected by small turbulence. Coupled with its performance, it is a highly efficient paramotor wing perfect for electric engines or low power motors.
