Ultra-Stable Design – The F7 features APCO’s proprietary Mohawk, delivering enhanced roll and pitch stability, minimizing unwanted movements and making takeoffs, landings, and in-flight handling smoother than ever.
Simplified Controls – A single, intuitive brake system ensures effortless steering with gentle, predictable response—perfect for new pilots learning the basics.
Optimized for Training – The risers are built with maximum clarity and ease of use, helping students progress quickly with minimal complexity. Risers are high or low hang point ready from the box.
Intuitive Handling – A single, responsive brake system ensures precise yet gentle steering, perfect for mastering the basics.
Whether you’re embarking on your first paramotor flight or training the next generation of pilots, the F7 is your ultimate partner in the sky. Get ready to launch with confidence!

APCO is traditionally known for using materials and building techniques which offer double and triple lifespan over the expected. The glider is made from tear resistant Ripstop Nylon cloth, which is P.U. coated to zero porosity and then siliconized to give the fabric high resistance to the elements. Different cloth is used for the top, bottom and ribs due to their different functions.
As on all APCO wings, the F5 wing uses the same long lasting cloth on the top surface, guaranteeing its integrity for entire expanded lifespan of the wing. Nevertheless we significantly reduced the weight of the wing thanks to advanced solutions applied, without compromising on any of APCO’s legendary durability.
The top surface utilizes our double siliconized cloth – top front is critical area in terms of porosity as this is where most of the lift is generated.
The bottom surface has been upgraded to a lightweight 27 gr. material with an advanced ripstop arrangement which saves additional weight.
The ribs are separated into supported and unsupported ribs, with lightweight material on unsupported ribs for additional weight saving.
The lines are a mix of different materials in different positions, to optimize to the fullest the diameter/strength according to the required load.
The top lines are our life-time warranted embedded hook in points made from Dyneema fiber.
The rest of the lines are sheathed for extra durability and ease of use. Material used is Kevlar for its stability and resistance to elastic changes in length.
The bottom section of the brake lines is made of Dyneema because of its better mechanical properties. The lines are attached to the risers using Apco’s proprietary aluminum V-links.

Yes – The F7 risers have two hang points to accommodate both low and high hang point harnesses. If you are flying with a high hang point harness, you should connect to the upper anchor point on the risers. Make sure to adjust your brake length and inflate the wing before your first flight, as it comes pre-set for low hang point harnesses.
The F7 is simpler and more beginner-friendly than both the F5 and the F5 School version. Designed primarily for schools and pilots at the start of their flying journey, it offers enhanced stability and forgiveness.
Structurally, the F7 features two fewer panels, contributing to its ease of use and reliability in training environments.

You have to try it! The lightweight construction in combination with the unique SRS riser system makes inflation easier than ever before. Take-off speed is lowest there is for a full reflex wing, for a short and effortless run.
Close the trimmers and enjoy a slow approach with a highly effective flare.
Flare like a pro – the brake travel is long and progressive allowing the slow squeeze of energy out of the wing.
The reflex profile has been further optimized for improved fuel consumption and flatter glider angle when approaching for landing.
As with the rest of the “F” family of wings, the handling is much more direct and responsive. This in combination with the roll stability of the “Mohawk” creates the perfect handling package!
“Inflation is a no brainer”
“The Mohawk is freaking Cool!”
LIGHT – big weight saving choosing lighter materials for the bottom surface and ribs. Top surface incorporates our legendary double siliconized cloth for maximum durability.
