Can anyone describe that construction? At the first look it's just a Duo-Discus... cheers Maciek K.

Think of it as a Duo-Ventus.

I suppose it is a matter of personal preference, but the Arcus sure looks
sweet to me! Paul Remde "Nick Olson" wrote in message ... http://www.schempp-hirth.com/index.php?id=130&L=1 One that is likely to clean up at the 20m two seat competitions!.

How soon till we see something similar from DG/LS? Will it be the DG
2000? Can't wait to see these beauties (Arcus and other newbies surely to follow) on an airfield and in the sky soon! Ray Lovinggood Carrboro, North Carolina, USA

The wing is totally new, Actually, it doesn't look a "totally new" to me. I believe it's flapped as kestrell19 said, so it propably has a little different airfoil, at least at the flapped part, but the wing shape still looks the same, multi-trapezoidal wing, as in DUO. the fuselage is similar to XL (new - longer fuselage Duo/Nimbus fuselage) However - it can be equipped with an electric self launcher so is structurally somewhat different... And that's a good point. Looks like the electric propulsion becomes a new trend for powered sailplanes, and I think it is going to stay there for much longer than the little jets. But still, couldn't they just give DUO the battery, leaving the DUO name (same fuselage, maybe the elevator...)? Perhaps, when they show some more specific technical info and more detailed pictures, I will change my mind. Maciek
