A very attractive glider of proven Arcel construction, with good looks and performance. Accurately moulded Arcel components mean that the ARCUS can be assembled into an elegant glider in the absolute minimum of time.
The ARCUS is a fine looking glider which offers a convincing performance with superb dynamic characteristics. The model is fitted with aileron, rudder and elevator controls, and is capable of simple aerobatics.
The real strength of the ARCUS is its excellent thermal and slope flying characteristics. At the slope the model can be ballasted if necessary to suit the strength of the wind.
Installing the "Arcus Motor Set" converts the ARCUS into a motor-glider. The set contains a brushless motor and the latest technology Li-Po cells, ensuring a powerful climb performance.
The proven ARCUS glider is now also available in ARF version. This new variant is intended primarily for the model pilot who wishes to fit out the glider with a power system from the outset, and for whom building time is at a premium.
The model is identical to the kit-version of the Arcus as featured in the main catalogue, but offer higher levels of pre-fabrication and include different fittings. The glider is supplied virtually completely assembled. The motor, speed controller and servos are already installed, and the control surfaces are prepared for connection.
