Arcus (5.75m, 1:3.5)

Original:

The Schempp-Hirth ARCUS is an two seater Super-Allrounder in the 20m class. Whether its training, distance, competition or record flight, the ARCUS has it all and has quickly become first choice of many serious glider pilots around the world. The ARCUS has a very unique wing geometry, which makes it immediately recognizable. In 2019 a few additional improvements in the winglet, fuselage and stab geometry have made it one of the most modern and extravagant high performance gliders of all times.

History:

With the acrobatic glider 'Kobuz' the cooperation between CARF-Models and ceflix has already proven what it's capable of. CARF and Ceflix work together in some other areas as well, so it was no question that more statements in the model glider world were to become reality. The CARF-Models / ceflix ARCUS is such a project. The extensive experience of ceflix in the glider technology and aerodynamics design, combined with the long standing production and world wide marketing capabilities of CARF-Models are the unique ingredients to make this ARCUS an ever lasting success.

Flying:

By utilizing the carbon composite construction on the flying surfaces we were able to use very thin airfoils. These have become the standard in high performance gliders, since their drag is unbelievably low. In other construction methods these airfoils can't be used because the wings would simply not have enough strength and stiffness. Our Arcus does, so we can enjoy its fantastic slow, thermal and speed flight envelope. A scale glider manufactured with less efforts just can't compete with that. Impressive aerobatics capabilities for the Alpine Professionals, not usually seen in a glider that size, are complimented by the most docile behaviour for the less experienced pilot due to its light weight components. The Arcus lands like a dream, too. 

The ARCUS can be towed with a suitable tow plane such as our SIAI Marchetti. A modern FES in the nose or a retractable EDF above the wings will get your ARCUS in the air just with as much grace and style. We offer both options as accessory. And finally, at the slope or in the mountains
the ARCUS can be ground launched with the help of a rubber flinge. The truly fearless within us can even attempt a hand launch into a good wind, which isn't impossible with the moderate 15 kg take off weight.
