Swing Arcus RS, 75-95
Swing Arcus 2 RS, 75-95 The Arcus is Swing's low EN-B glider, with the RAST system. I flew the Arcus 2 RS at 93 all up in our strong Cedars area last month. The construction and details are really neat on that Arcus 2. Nitinol wires were used to keep the profile stable with little weight. The take-off at 93 is very straightforward and very easy, even in nil wind. In strong windy take-off, the easiness of the Arcus 2 makes the launching a child's play. In the air, the brake travel is short to react and firm, but pulling more is still very forgiving, but no need as it turns quite well in all kinds of conditions. I can say that 15-20 cm is only needed to steer the glider in most conditions. The agility is nice on that low B with good precision in turns for the class. The pitch behavior is very calm, and the roll is even calmer! The information about the air is felt with a lot of passive movements and a very compact feel ! Not any weird movemen...
