Apco Play 42 MkII

Price per Unit (piece): £3 000.00 (including 20 % tax)

It is the finest Tandem wing APCO has ever developed and we have no doubt that it will be the markets’ best-seller for years to come.

PLAY 42 is designed to satisfy every Tandem pilot, even the most discriminating.

Development was extensive and thorough, leaving many of our faithful pilots impatient, but the final outcome is truly worth the wait. We will let you be the judges.

PLAY FOR 2 targets the professional tandem market as well as recreational tandem pilots and its design is focused on:

  • Perfect launch with trim close or open in any wind condition (cross wind, back flow, or no wind)
  • Easy, light force, quick and responsive handling
  • Fabulous flare
  • Reassuring safety
  • Wide speed range (risers equipped with trim tabs - certified)
  • Traditional APCO materials, including our famous double coated siliconised cloth and heavy duty SuperAramid lines, assuring many years of use (twice as much as any other Tandem) – making your investment per hour of flight much more attractive
PLAY 42 has successfully completed all certification flight tests for ACPUL/AFNOR Tandem Class (with trim tabs on risers).

Prior to certification PLAY 42 was used by a number of our dealers and their feedback is excellent.

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.
