KARMA EVO

As it’s name suggests, the KARMA EVO is the Evolution of the legendary Karma. It possesses all the Karma virtues but has been redesigned from the ground up, to be a worthy addition to APCO’s range of all round beginner wings.

Constructed with the students in mind, and instructors feedback – it is super easy glider to fly – Simple and straightforward.

A hybrid 3 line construction that converges into a clean and simple 3 leg riser making inflation and ground handling a breeze – no messy risers and lines tangled in reverse launch anymore. Accelerated learning curve for the student, getting him into the air and flying safely faster than before.

Flying characteristics are delightful. It is a true EN-A. Simple to understand and pleasure to handle. Glide is among the best in it’s class.

According to Apco’s legendary tradition for durability – the construction of the wing is bullet proof! The best and extremely durable cloth combined with proven construction designed to withstand the students abuse for as long as necessary.

Karma EVO is fun to fly and will excite long after out of school.

The KARMA EVO, we feel, is the best beginner glider today for students and new pilots, as well as instructors and we are sure you will find it to be the best choice for you too.

KARMA EVO Paramotor Version

KARMA EVO available in paramotor version too. The wing was designed bearing paramotor pilots in mind and thoroughly tested under power. Equally well suited for paramotor, making it a great wing for engine lovers. The KARMA EVO overall behavior is perfectly tuned for motorized flight. From easy nil wind inflation and short take-offs to exceptional stability, with high fuel efficiency. The KARMA EVO offers the ideal solution for paramotor schools and pilots who choose non-reflex wing. (Supplied with purpose built paramotor risers when specified)
