Cruiser
The bridge to the future
Pilot Profile:
It is an easy wing to fly, suitable for students as well as experienced pilots. The #1 choice of PPC wing for both students and intermediate pilots worldwide. Every pilot that transitions to the Cruiser from a rectangular chute is overwhelmed with excitement!Re-designed from the ground up, this conservative tapered planform wing, the Cruiser – combines the advantages of both worlds, offering the perfect blend of enhanced performance, speed and handling, with ease of use, extreme safety and user friendly nature of the well known veteran PW and Hybrid. With significantly faster trim speed and superior glide (L/D), it provides a smooth transition from rectangular chutes. It comes in Standard and Narrow attachment versions and features Apco's DSC, Flexon battens, and BT2 for debris clearing.
