Our plastic line keepers, which are also were common to many other paragliding brands, have been redesigned for 2008 to provide proper protection for lines and remain firmly in place.

The new line keepers are redesigned to securely lock in the quick link, they are made from tough, rugged, high quality plastic. Properly securing lines and riser with no chance of getting lost.

It is just a small detail, but we believe attention to detail counts. Thats how in the end the big difference is achieved.

We are confident that this little improvement will make the difference and reduce the level of irritation over insignificant things which don't work properly.

Fly safe and enjoy.

Starting 2008 safety minded - a new promotional item - mobile phone / key strap - now available from APCO.

You may think its just another promotional gimmick.

Indeed it is designed to reinforce APCO's name, but as always with APCO there is added value - the strap has a Paragliding Preflight check printed on it.

It is designed to remind pilots of the sequence of steps before take off, insuring safe flight.

We believe this will make sure that no pilot will forget to buckle up, have helmet on, verify conditions right and launch is clear.

The strap is supplied as a free gift with every glider and is available for all customers. Trust it will improve the safety of our sport - it is our modest contribution.
