Game 42

Tandem Paraglider – The Game is On

Certification: En B Tandem

The Game 42 is the kind of wing that will be talked about for years to come, truly remarkable. An all new design incorporating smart internal structure and our Automatic Pressurising Profile, producing wing characteristics that will surprise even the most experienced pilots.

Tandem flying is always a thrill for a first time passenger, but with this wing the real game is for the pilot! The Game 42 feels much more like a single wing than a tandem.
When flying you will soon forget it is a tandem over your head as this thermalling machine spirals you up to the top of the stack – and all of this with a friend on board.

CONSTRUCTION
Longevity of tandem wing is one of the main parameters considered by tandem pilots. Apco’s well known Gelvenor cloth has been proven over many years as the best there is for durability and longevity.

Revised, careful blend of Gelvenor and other lighter types of cloth and materials will guarantee many more hours of service for the Game 42 .

We at APCO believe that on Game 42 commercial pilots will be able to put in significantly more hours before trashing, compared to market standard – making each hour of flight significantly less costly (APCO wings are known for their sturdy, durable construction and this wing will continue the legacy)

Game 42 is equally great for both free flying and for paramotor tandem flying.
It especially excels when flying under power. Its outstanding performance and short take-off run allow its tandem use even with the smallest and weakest engines, making it the #1 choice for many light tandem trike pilots.

Game 42 is certified in EN-B, LTF B Class
APCO also performed thorough in-house intensive test flight sequence to verify that the wing is in-line with expectations on every parameter.

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.

The lines are made of superaramid covered with a polyester sheath for protection against UV, wear and abrasion. The bottom section of the brake lines is made of Polyester because of its better mechanical properties. The Karabiners/rectangular loops that attach the lines to the risers are made of stainless steel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can all Apco tandem wings be flown with a paramotor

All tandem wings can be flown with a paramotor – however we suggest as follows:

Short take-off – Game 42 best perfomance wing in terms of glide and fuel consumption
Play 42 – a faster tandem wing, great for light trikes
For use with heavier trikes – Play 42 UL which is the reinforced version of Play 42.

Is the game 42 a lot of better than the fun 42 of play42 mkII??

Game 42 replaces Fun 42 in our line.

It is a sharknose tandem with very good handling and glide efficiency, certified EN B.

With motor use, we recommend this wing for people with weak engine or using foot launch – will enjoy slower take-off speed.

For use with trikes we recommend Play 42 or Play 42 UL.

UL stands for Ultralight – it is the same wing, only reinforced for heavier loads.

The Play will give higher speed but will be less efficient, requires an engine which will be a bit stronger.

For anything with less than 90 kg. force – I would recommend Game 42.
