i flew the force for testing in very turbulent conditions over 150 km distance with my herkules redstar paramotor. launching in meduno, flying to lignano sabbiadoro and after tankstop back again.
the thermals were hard and for me it was very unusual to do not fly active with brakes.
the force NEVER had any tendency to collapse or do something unusual. it was safe and stable - great wing for paramotoring.
I think this is the only video I have seen where a person manages to take off without using the controls on the wing - yet more evidence of how easy the Apco Force is to launch. It is also the best wing I have ever flown for speed, stability and handling. Well done Adam and everyone at Apco - and as you say "setting future standards". Also see "Paramotor Van Take Off" as further evidence of how easy this wing is to launch. Easy take off, great speed and stability - thats why I choose Apco !
What can this glider offer that Revo2 Paramania doesnt do better? NOTHING! It is great commerciall video, but everything what is presented here is done in a perfect wind conditions,no problem with any glider with Reflex system!!!!Playing like kid with a toy, with Paramania Revo2!
FIRST TIME I HAVE SET THE MOVIE YOUTUBE VIDEO THAT WAS A PILOT STARTS WITH FREE HAND SO I was very eager to HAVE A SUCH SCREEN. SO, I ordered the same day as I cleared PM1 KURSEN.I April 2010
I PURCHASED FIRST PRIVATE CLIENT Apcoa FORCE I MONITOR M SVERIGE.OCH CLASS ALLOY ..
I weigh 110 KG AGE 52 TOTAL WEIGHT 160 KG. AND I AM A BEGINNER HAS AIR OF MOTOR PARA TOTAL 32 HOURS OF FLIGHT FORECAST Apcoa 7 Hours
After a some more testing; Open trims - lose about 20 - 30 ft in alt while the wing accelerate. When level again, use speed bar on same principle 2 stage works best!
I can not get over this wings handling!!!! You can induce motion sickness in under a minute, regardless how strong your stomach is LOL .:)
If you fly any other wing, you fly PPG. If you fly a FORCE, you are PPG. Im a recreational pilot, this wing make me look like a PRO! Thank you APCO
I own 3 PPG wings. Mac P. Eden 3 (28), Apco HP 09 (S) and Force (M). One word for the force, incredible. I weigh in at 88 kgs, fly a PAP - Ross 125 130 cm composite prop at the coast. Its a challenge to maintain level flight with open trims + full speed bar but, WOW!!! that thing turns on a dime!!! If need be ill go on a diet for as long as it takes to stay light enough for this wing. I think the claimed weight range by APCO is a bit optimistic unless you've got some serious Hp's on your back.
@ParamotorPaul hmmm i didnt realize this sport is a speed sport?can be handy if entering competitions where speed is needed.how many reflex wing (full)have apco made?...in total
I FLY A REFLEX WING DUDEK REACTION TST.ILL WATCH HOW GOOD A WING THIS IS BY READING RESULTS IN THE PARAMOTOR COMPETITIONS.AT THE MOMENT DUDEK IS AT THE TOP.BEEN LOOKING FOR APCO.?
I have had the chance to fly the Force recently - it is incredible for its easy gound handling, stability and performance in speed and glide. A great choice for pilots who want a reflex wing with performance without heavy ground handling. I have already coved plenty of miles with my new Force.
I flew the Thrust HP for 2 years, I have just upgraded to the Vista HP and found it comparable to the Thrust HP just with better handling and less torque steer. How does the FORCE compare to the Thrust HP and Vista HP??
Also, I fly the Vista HP with an all up weight of about 160 kilos, the Vista HP is very fast with this wing loading, but it requires a lot more power from my motor. I am curious why you don't make any of your reflex wings in a large size??
awesome! i have flown both the Thrust and Thrust HP in M and S sizes and love the ease of handling the Thrust..did hands-free takeoffs and touch-n-gos easily with it....Force really looks a lot more easy...is it perfect for an over-50 pilot like me who aims to fly forever?.....Simon Sandi (Borneo Island)
Great wing! Just received 2 of these. Raising wing above head is easiest I have ever experienced. You do not have to use A at all if light wind. Aceelerated speed is above all competitors.

Hi Adam
That's a VERY cool video ... eating a sandwich while taking off ... what's in the next video? ... wingovers with a cuppa tea & a sticky bun? (lol)
Keep it up ... I'm nearly convinced already to buy one of these :-)
