Hi,

Of course, the Arcus has a much larger fuselage than a Discus2a so its
performance at high speed will suffer as a result of that.

Hi ladies and gents,



Here is a video made by Sebastian Kawa on ECG 2013 at Ostrów in

Poland.



This video presents final glide of his Discus 2a wing to wing with

Arcus flying at 200km/h. As you can see at this speed performance

of 20m span glider is no better than 15m Discus 2a.

"A why they're buying such expensive gliders...".

Thanks for the translation and the other info. As an Arcus owner I was
rather disappointed! Was the Discus flying in 15m or 18m mode? Do we know
how the wing loadings compared?
