APCO will also handsomely reward a good story with attractive photos telling of the attempt to break World Record on an APCO current wing - even if it was unsuccessful and just ended up with remarkable flights -publishable in the media.
For pilots needing to obtain an APCO wing to make an attempt to break the World Record - a special deal will be offered.
