The Vista has become a legend in its own time… Now in its 6th generation, it is lighter, cleaner and with all the latest materials & construction technologies incorporated.
The Vista VI is APCO’s middle B, designed for talented beginners or pilots who wish to step up to the B category with a very calm, safe and easy wing to fly.
Vista VI is a very solid canopy which reassures the pilot with its consistency and pitch damping characteristics.
The wing especially excels in strong conditions with its solidity and homogenous feeling. It will reassure the pilot with its safety, build confidence, allowing for continuous improvement in cross country skills.
Vista VI is offered with 2 different types of risers:
- C-steering risers – equipped with C-steering system for building piloting skills and active flying on speed bar – recommended for pilots stepping up from an A wing.
- Standard 3 line risers – Lightweight (99 Gr) made from 12mm. kevlar polyester webbing with APCO’s proprietary V-links. Simple to understand, clean design, recommended for pilots who do not need C-steering option.
Please indicate which risers are preferred when ordering – in absence of mentioning wing will be supplied as default with Standard 3-line risers.
Vista was the first true 3 liner EN-B wing (2014) introduced to the market, a groundbreaking wing in its time featuring shark-nose and a true 3 line, 3 riser set up. Vista VI continues the heritage, and has matured into a proven solid, well performing middle B-Class wing.
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.
The paramotor risers are equipped with trimmers. The flight characteristics remains within the certification while the trimmers are in the closed position. The full test procedures have however been completed in house on these risers with the trimmers in the open position. You can order the Trim Risers (Product Code: 78800P) from your dealer.
I flew my 1st real long cross country on my Vista. I flew a 192 km, I am very pleased and so satisfied with this wing it is so stable in the strongest of thermals It is also very forgiving
