We provide a standard APCO 500 or Elan 500 Parachute Canopy with the purchase of each Destiny Powered Parachute. They
come in "Neon Rainbows" and are matched up to the
airframe color for the best look. Of course, you can order
custom color combinations too.
Also shown below are the colors available for the Quantum Advantage Wing.
There are a wide variety of colors to choose from when you
custom order a chute. Rather than misrepresent what we offer, we
went ahead and scanned the actual chute material in order to be
able to show it to you.
Please keep in mind that this page is for REFERENCE ONLY.
These colors are not exact.

It's also important to understand that a custom order chute may
take up to 6 - 8 weeks for delivery.
APCO AVIATION
HYBRID POWER WING 500
The Best of Both Worlds!
 |
This Development comes after
extensive work by the Apco R&D team. The Hybrid gives you all the
best characteristics from the traditional Apco Power Wing 400 & 500 and much
more. It delivers lift greater than the 550 and the exact handling of the 400, while giving a higher performance in glide ratio than any other rectangular wing on the market. |
