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 Œultimate

benchmark¹ 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 ³typical and traditional² for

Schempp-Hirth gliders since they presented the ³Wolf² 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!"
