JOCHEN EWALD, the foremost German commentator on new sailplanes has
flown Schempp-Hirth's new Arcus two seater. He is over the moon about
it. See below.

Gliding International's next issue contains an extensive review
(eight pages) by Jochen - worth a subscription just for this report
(in English). New subscribers can enrol at www.glidinginternational.com

"With the Arcus, the engineering and production crew of Schempp-Hirth
have launched a great new glider. It is clearly the new ‘ultimate
benchmark’ of the 20m two-seater class, and it should be a great
challenge for the competitors to try and equal. Last, but not least,
it shows a further feature which appears “typical and traditional” for
Schempp-Hirth gliders since they presented the “Wolf” and the Minimoa
or, later, the Discus: With its new wing shape, it brings again a new,
characteristic and elegant silhouette into the air - a real eye
catcher!"
