That is very interesting news. A flapped version of a DuoDiscus with an
electric power system. That is very intriguing. I had not heard of the
Arcus before. Can anyone back up that rumor?

Good news from Lange Aviation:

Especially note the last sentence:

The battery will also be used by the propulsion system of the self
launching Schempp-Hirth Arcus E. The propulsion system for the Arcus E
is based upon the proven propulsion for the Antares 20E, and it will
be installed by Lange Aviation.

Looks like it's finally starting to become official.
The Arcus is going to be the flapped version of the Duo Discus.
