F3 Introduction
F3 is APCO’s Sport Class cross country paramotor wing. Intended for weekend warriors with a focus on pure, enjoyable, reliable and confidence inspiring performance.
Based on the ground breaking F1, the F3 delivers a similar performance package in a more manageable and easy to fly wing with incomparable safety and stability.
Nicknamed during development “Baby F1” it was conceived out of the success of F1 and shares many of its older brother’s design features.
Situated above the LIFT range and under the F1, the F3 is the perfect upgrade for pilots looking to move up from their school wing. F3 offers real life cross country capabilities in a package that can supply both speed and high adrenaline fun with its agility and responsiveness.
F3 will be equally enjoyed by advanced pilots, who do not need the cutting edge performance and speed offered by the F1 and enjoy more relaxed cruising around and slower take-off and landings.
The F3 is a very light wing! This contributes to its high level of safety and incredible ease of inflation, especially in nil wind take-offs. The reduced amount of inertia, further improves the passive safety, delivering a safe, solid, no compromise design. The weight saving is smartly achieved using lightweight materials on all internal parts and bottom surface, but retaining APCO’s legendary long-lasting fabric on the top surface, insuring the longevity expected from APCO.
As with the F1, incorporated into the F3 is our Flow Aligned Ribs (FAR) feature, morphing direction from center to tip, it aligns the ribs with the natural direction of the flow, increasing both performance and stability throughout the speed range. The roll stability of the F3 is especially impressive, allowing for agile, precise handling.
The canopy incorporates 2 functional “3D cuts” for the best possible leading edge shape definition.
F3 sail tension has been optimized to be a homogeneous unit, solid and reassuring in flight.
The riser / speed system / trim system was re-designed to incorporate all of Apco’s groundbreaking technologies, and has a greater usable range than any wing we have built before. The extensive speed range means you can launch and land at reasonable speeds, but can accelerate (speeds of up to 69 [km/hour]) with comfort during competition, or on the perfect long distance XC flight you’ve been dreaming about.
With the trimmers closed, the F3 will thermal well, and has exceptional glide ratio (for a full reflex profile wing), so if you like to mix it up on a good day, idle or cut the motor and crank it up to cloudbase with ease.
Open the trimmers and enjoy a significant speed increase of approx. 10 [km/h] (without the use of the speed bar).
Choose the speed bar and the OAA system will allow you to accelerate to the maximum in one swift motion!
High Hang-Points? – No Problem! Get the 14KIT…
The F3 can be ordered with the 14KIT installed, or customised with the optional 14KIT, which can be ordered separately at any time. The 14KIT contains longer tip steering lines, and an additional magnet and guide ring which is fitted to the risers when flying a frame with high hang points or a trike.
F3 – Free your mind and the rest will follow…….
F3 是 APCO 的運動級越野動力傘翼。專為周末勇士而設計，專注於純粹、愉快、可靠和鼓舞人心的表現。
基於開創性的 F1，F3 以更易於管理和易於飛行的機翼提供類似的性能套件，具有無與倫比的安全性和穩定性。
在開發過程中被暱稱為“Baby F1”，它是從 F1 的成功中構思出來的，並分享了其哥哥的許多設計特徵。
F3 位於 LIFT 範圍上方和 F1 下方，是希望從學校機翼向上移動的飛行員的完美升級。 F3 提供現實生活中的越野能力，其敏捷性和響應能力既能提供速度，又能帶來高腎上腺素的樂趣。
F3 將同樣受到高級飛行員的喜愛，他們不需要 F1 提供的尖端性能和速度，而是享受更輕鬆的巡航和更慢的起飛和著陸。
F3 是一個非常輕的機翼！這有助於其高度的安全性和令人難以置信的易於充氣，尤其是在無風起飛時。減少的慣性量進一步提高了被動安全性，提供了安全、堅固、不妥協的設計。在所有內部部件和底面使用輕質材料巧妙地減輕了重量，但在頂面保留了 APCO 傳奇的持久面料，確保了 APCO 的預期使用壽命。
與 F1 一樣，F3 中融入了我們的流動對齊肋 (FAR) 功能，從中心到尖端的變形方向，它將肋與流動的自然方向對齊，在整個速度範圍內提高性能和穩定性。 F3 的側傾穩定性尤其令人印象深刻，可實現靈活、精確的操控。
頂篷包含 2 個功能性“3D 切割”，以獲得最佳的前緣形狀定義。
F3 帆張力經過優化，成為一個均勻的單元，在飛行中堅固且令人放心。
立管/速度系統/配平系統經過重新設計，融合了 Apco 的所有突破性技術，並且比我們之前製造的任何機翼具有更大的可用範圍。廣泛的速度範圍意味著您可以以合理的速度起飛和著陸，但可以在比賽期間舒適地加速（速度高達 69 [公里/小時]），或者在您夢寐以求的完美長途 XC 飛行中。
關閉修剪器後，F3 會很好地散熱，並具有出色的滑翔比（對於完整的反射輪廓機翼），所以如果你想在天氣好的時候把它混起來，空轉或切斷電機，然後用舒適。
打開修剪器，享受大約 10 分鐘的顯著速度提升。 10 [km/h]（不使用速度條）。
選擇速度條，OAA 系統將讓您在一個快速動作中加速到最大！
高掛點？ - 沒問題！獲取 14KIT…
F3 可以在安裝 14KIT 的情況下訂購，也可以通過可選的 14KIT 進行定制，可以隨時單獨訂購。 14KIT 包含更長的尖端轉向線，以及一個附加的磁鐵和導向環，當飛行具有高懸掛點的框架或三輪車時，安裝到立管上。
F3 - 釋放你的思想，其餘的將隨之而來……。
Characteristics
TAKE OFF
Slower speed than you would expect for such a wing. Best results will be achieved with trimmers fully closed. All thanks to new highly efficient reflex profile.
起飛
速度比你想像的速度慢，trimmers完全關閉時可獲得最佳效果。這一切都要歸功於新的高效反射曲線。
LANDING
Approach and flare is straight forward, efficiently converting speed into lift, for a slow and soft landing.
降落
進近和拉平是直線前進，有效地將速度轉化為升力，實現緩慢而軟著陸。
HANDLING
Long and forgiving brake range, yet very accurate and extremely agile already in the first part of the range, with 2D Steering and Tip Steering and great roll stability / self levelling at high speed!
搬運
長而寬容的製動範圍，但在該範圍的第一部分已經非常準確和極其敏捷，具有 2D 轉向和尖端轉向以及出色的側傾穩定性/高速自調平！
PERFORMANCE
Modest aspect ratio, but high performance design with high, safe, speed increase from opening the trimmers.
性能
適度的縱橫比，但高性能設計，打開trimmers後速度提高，安全性高。
PILOT FEEDBACK
“I’m a paraglider pilot at heart, but trying this wing and motor has convinced me to take the leap and get a motor and the F3”
Gilad A.
trimmers
“我的內心深處是一名滑翔傘飛行員，但嘗試這種機翼和發動機讓我確信我要邁出這一步，買一個發動機和 F3”
CONSTRUCTION
LIGHT – big weight saving choosing lighter materials for the bottom surface and ribs. Top surface incorporates our legendary double siliconized cloth for maximum durability.
施工
LIGHT – 為底面和肋條選擇較輕的材料，大大減輕重量。頂部表面採用我們傳奇的雙矽化布，以實現最大的耐用性。
F3
The APCO F3 is the ultimate all round wing, mid range designed for progressing pilots, but will be enjoyed equally by the most experienced pilots out there!
APCO F3 是專為進步飛行員設計的終極全能機翼中程機翼，但那裡最有經驗的飛行員也會同樣享受！
