APOLLO 3 LIGHT

Carrying less, efficiency in weak conditions, and better performance make APOLLO 3 LIGHT a highly suitable choice for enthusiasts of volbiv.

Its intuitive design offers excellent performance and provides perfect feedback in any mass air conditions. Pilots quickly become familiar with the canopy, which fosters confidence and extends the duration of air time. The potential of thermalling is already exceptional in the conventional version. Lightweight version, will definitely excel in broken thermals or small, narrow cores. While big cores will be just a pure joyride.
The lightweight nature of the clothing also facilitates take-off, making it a breeze. Small take-offs are no longer an obstacle to your flying plans.
The APOLLO 3 3 LIGHT offers excellent speed control on full bars, complemented by BC steering. Which makes transitions straightforward and allows you to focus on XC track performance.

APOLLO 3 LIGHT's compact design is a clear advantage. The Sky Compact Bag has been added to the scope of delivery to provide additional space in your backpack and to support the lightweight concept.

The APOLLO 3 LIGHT is an intermediate-to-high B-category glider that seamlessly integrates performance with safety. Optimal partner for the lightweight adventures.

Why do pilots like APOLLO 3 LIGHT:

• Generally, the lightweight structure enhances performance compared to its conventional version. The lightweight version will allow confidence at small take-offs or in weak conditions, no longer intimidating pilots' minds.  The wing doesn't overshoot, nor is it an effort to get it overhead.
• The APOLLO 3 LIGHT has an exceptional balance between manoeuvrability and climb rate in thermal conditions. Pilots can also achieve maximum control efficiency behind the rear row with the help of two high-quality pulleys on the B row, making it functionally the best option.
• Count on the Apollo 3 for stability and control, guaranteeing a smooth and steady flight for complete confidence in every manoeuvre.
• Engineered with cutting-edge materials and technology, this design offers maximum safety without sacrificing performance, showcasing an advanced safety design.
• The overhauled internal structure significantly helps out stability and durability, guaranteeing steadfast performance in all flying conditions.
• The B/C steering system effectively mitigates the impact on performance by stabilising canopy movements in turbulent air, even at full throttle.
• Complete SIV training is entirely achievable with APOLLO 3 LIGHT, which is no longer standard with hybrid and over-reinforced wings. You benefit from the three-line concept.

Main features:

• XRC - Cross Rods Construction for proper tension and accurate leading edge pressure.
• The Triple 3D cut, which has two upper surface cuts and one lower, ensures the foil's cleanest curves. The result is a highly efficient profile with excellent internal pressure values throughout the speed range that remains simple to launch, highly durable, and simple to pack.
• AFP - Leading-edge pocket reinforcements on the lower intake prevent cell vibrations at higher speeds.

• Mini Ribs - make the trailing edge coherent, smooth and sharp and improve performance by streamlining the airflow on the wing.

• B.C.S - B to C steering system helps to iron out canopy movements in turbulent air at full speed bar with minimal effect on performance.

• Proven three-and-a-half rows and three-risers line concept with split A-risers for more comfortable ears.
• Comfort-focused C Risers: The handle on the C riser is designed for maximum comfort during long speed bar transitions. Its shape minimises the risk of cord entanglement in case of a collapse.

• Lightweight fabric brings better performance and better use in hike and fly or volbiv adventures.

• The Sky Compact bag supports the compact package, which is included in the delivery scope.

The use of lighter materials in the construction of Apollo 3 has brought a number of benefits. When we talk about the feeling of flight, first of all, a slightly more precise connection to the surrounding air mass and a wider range of feedback from it, the wing gains agility and dexterity compared to the standard version. 

Naturally, the lightness has a very positive effect on the take-off progress and last but not least - a slightly smaller volume of the packed wing and a lighter backpack are always useful. 

All this without significantly compromising wing life and long-term trouble-free functionality.

• SKY COMPACT BAG fast and easy packing with anti-snag protection on the zipper.

• T-shirt SKY TEAM. At Sky, a T-shirt gets as much attention as a paraglider. T-shirts are designed, cut, sewn and printed by us, in our manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic. They are made of cotton and bamboo fibres for comfort and durability.

• Skytex patch – For fixing small tears in your wing.

• XXS Windsock – Little help for reading the wind direction on take-off.

• Sky Paragliders Sticker –  Let people know which team you are on.
