1/3 scale Arcus
« on: October 02, 2025, 20:07:30 PM »
New toy!
Well, kind of!

First flights were done at the Creuilly meeting back in August!

6.7m of happiness!

Still some setup to be finished so I am fully happy. Next week I’ll be in Falaise to push it a bit more and test taking off the ground before I try in Ireland. Really looking forward to it!
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Creuilly today for a setup session. Sun and all, still summer here!

First take off with the SLS. Non event in about 50m without pushing it! 1 take off, 2 motor use after some low passes back to about 250-300m. 81% battery left! Efficient!

More setup later this weekend, but that thing is nice, could have stayed all day up there.
