Archives: Nestra Light

My first flight was with a prototype of the Apco Nestra at the Dead Sea.
I even flew slightly overloaded and yet the performance of the wing was already impressive.
The Nestra flew remarkably dynamically and efficiently and gave me the feeling of hanging under a higher classified wing.
The steering is absolutely precise and it feels like a razor blade cutting through the air.
I flew with some C and even D category gliders and I felt the Nestra was on par with those gliders.
I’m used to hanging on a few lines from my Enzo, but seeing a similar picture on an En-B wing is truly revolutionary.

First time I went to Apco Aviation manufacture, the Nestra was waiting for me to flying it. Once I opened on the takeoff, I knew that I would fall in love with it. Nestra is a high B class glider, with the best Apco’s Tech. Easy during take off, and even more for flying. The pressure is perfect on the brakes, what I was looking for in a glider to fly hours thermalling – gliding and don’t finish with your arms tired. The Nestra surprised me with the glide ratio, flying parallel to a C glider, but the best is the combination using the speed bar and rear risers control, when you feel the high speed! Nestra is the new future for the High B gliders!
I feel the need, the need for speed!
