Mac Para ICON — Elan's Cushion, With Added Control, in Class D

Raising performance without giving up comfort is easier said than done. Push the aspect ratio up, add a shark nose, clean up the lines, and response usually sharpens while the feel at your fingertips turns firm. The Icon doesn't follow that script. At aspect ratio 7, three lines, inside a fiercely competitive D class, it carries the Elan's cushioning across intact. That makes the target pilot clear: someone already at home with the Elan's comfort, looking to build on that feel with a step up in control and glide.
