Arcus vs

We have Arcus E in our airfield. Owners seem to be happy with it and it flies a lot and never lands out. It is very heavy which makes it impossible to fly in 20m class (800kg MTOW) competitions. All self-launchers in this class (and ASG 32EL which has similar empty weight) fly very close to 800kg MTOW without any water ballast. In WGC level competitions lighter Arcus T's (or those few non-engined ships) have edge in weak weather. I think the general consensus between 32Mi and Arcus M pilots is that both consider their ships to be little better than others...

There is a third 20m flapped 2 seater worth considering... The 20m
TwinShark... Take a look on the HPH website.... www.hph.cz.

It is much lighter than the other two 20m flapped two seaters and has a
higher aspect ratio as well as latest generation aerodynamics.

If you are looking for a 20m 2 seater electric you may also consider the following

Is that some sort of fuel driven engine turning a generator under the
left wing?Â* How can you call that an "electric"?Â* Seems to me they've
just put another layer of complexity between the gas and the prop.

BTW, I love my car gas fueled S10-VT.
