APCO Karma Paraglider motor/free flight wing 3 year warranty!

$2,600.00

Finally APCO has launched the KARMA. The latest addition to its range of gliders has been long awaited and almost a year spent on its development. They made sure that the KARMA is perfect in all ways and are confident that it will satisfy even the most demanding pilots.

The ongoing research and development program combined with 30 years of experience in designing wings has shown APCO which design developments can allow for substantial increases in both performance and safety which were fully implemented in KARMA.

KARMA out-performs many DHV 1-2 gliders while maintaining DHV 1 security at all speeds. Best of all, the handling is simply excellent, whether on the ground during launch, or thermalling up, racing through the sky and climbing with complete confidence in the strongest and tightest of thermals.

KARMA is designed for new pilots just after training or for any pilot searching for a wing which inspires confidence, but at the same time delivers the handling and performance to fly high and far.

KARMA lets the pilot relax, concentrating on flying, safe in the knowledge that the wing has passed the most recent and stringent safety tests.

KARMA's performance boundaries have been pushed even further, handling is even sweeter, safety more reassuring and launch is easier than ever.

New profile, further planform evolution, and loads of design innovations were a major factor in improving overall performance of KARMA The glider weight has been sharply reduced, even though we are still using our time-proven, reliable Gelvenor cloth (in fact KARMA is lighter than most rival gliders in its Class)

KARMA Paramotor Version

The Karma is also available in a paramotor version, with modified risers with trimmers. Based on the ultra safe DHV-1 Karma paraglider, it offers the ideal solution as a school paramotor or as a first paramotor for the novice pilot.

CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS


Materials

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 that attach the lines to the risers are made of stainless steel.
