Product information
LIFT EZ-R :: R for Racing!
The vast improvement in handling was achieved by incorporating the already proven.
ABS2® (Auto Balance System) into the LIFT EZ-R. On this second revision of the ABS system, we have designed it to be “transparent” to the pilot. It is completely automatic and does not require any additional action or operation from the pilot.
The additional stability which the ABS2® system provides at accelerated flight, allowed us to retrim the LIFT EZ into a much more agile “racing” version!
The LIFT EZ-R is now the most versatile wing out there, it can be used from schooling to advanced weekend pilots and will provide more fun and excitement with the same safety and easy use as expected from the LIFT EZ family.
LIFT EZ-R :: targeted at pilots who have graduated from the training phase and looking to upgrade to a more exciting wing – weekend warriors.
Characteristics
TAKE OFF
One of the best attributes of the LIFT EZ-R is its launch.The reflex profile helps the wing to rise up directly overhead, with no over shooting. Take-off speed is lowest there is for a full reflex wing, for a short and effortless run.
LANDING
Close the trimmers and enjoy a slow approach with a highly effective flare.
Flare like a pro – the brake travel is long and progressive allowing the slow squeeze of energy out of the wing.
PERFORMANCE
The improved reflex profile compared to original LIFT allows for improved fuel consumption and flatter glider angle when approaching for landing.
HANDLING
LIFT EZ-R is a more maneuverable with quicker handling, than the LIFT EZ.
When the tip steering is used in combination with the main brakes it is a dynamic, accurate sporty machine!
PILOT FEEDBACK
Big Big step Over the Lift 2EZ , It is the same wing but with a high top speed and amazing agility!
CONSTRUCTION
According to Apco’s legendary tradition for durability – the construction of the wing is bullet proof! Extremely durable cloth combined with proven construction designed to withstand the harshest conditions for as long as necessary.
LIFT EZ-R
Based on the original LIFT EZ but with higher agility and quicker responses. Same large speed range and EZ characteristics.

About APCO
Apco Aviation is one of the world’s leading producers of sport aviation equipment – paragliders for free flying and powered flying, as well as wings for powered parachutes, harnesses, rescue systems and accessories for our sports, and for UAV. Apco has been producing world-beating products since the early 1970’s and continues to be the most veteran company in the field! Apco remains at the leading edge of the industry for more than 40 years and their products hold over 16 World records and countless achievements on the national and international scene.
The Apco Factory
Inside the 3200 m2 state of the art factory specifically built for APCO’s production requirements. All APCO paragliders, harness, reserve systems and accessories are manufactured on location. Each paraglider is individually sewn by a skilled machinist, as are the Mayday emergency parachutes and the entire range of APCO harnesses. Once the paraglider is complete and has passed the various quality control checks it is taken out for a test inflation at one of APCO’s test sites.
Apco is known to have the longest lasting wings
The secret to this is the cloth which is coated with a silicone based coating – two times on each side. This is contrary to most other brands who use lighter fabric only coated one time on each side, and in some cases only one time on only one side! The cloth was strategically designed in cooperation with Apco's cloth supplier during the 1990’s and until today is the best on the market.
On the current range of wings, Apco uses this fabric on specific locations on the canopy where porosity is most important. These locations are where aerodynamically there is the highest pressure difference (lift) between internal and external parts of the wing. These locations are also prone to the highest rate of porosity deterioration, making the use of this fabric even more important. On the rest of the canopy where porosity is not a critical factor, Apco use lighter materials.
Starseed and Apco Aviation
Starseed has collaborated with Apco Aviation for over 20 years, both as an importer, dealer, co-developer of parts for Starseed and as personal friends of the staff. It is in our belief that Apco represents the very highest product quality and the ability to constantly innovate where many others copy. Apcos brand promise, Setting Future Standards, is for sure very legitimate.
The Apco Lift EZ-R is *ONLY* available to order for Norwegian pilots. This is due to the importer contract with Apco Aviation. If you are a foreign pilot and order a wing together with a Starseed machine you may order Apco products as a bundled package.
