DURAFLY Carbon Arcus

Radio-Controlled Planes for RC Pilots

Overview

The Durafly Carbon Arcus is a sleek and beautiful F3A biplane designed to perform smooth, F3A-style pattern aerobatics and is the perfect choice for honing your aerobatic skills. It features a durable, lightweight EPO airframe with carbon reinforcement, carbon landing gear, carbon interplane struts, and an advanced 4S motor and prop combination that offers a high power-to-weight ratio for unending verticals and incredible performance.

Flying the Arcus F3A is a dream, the long tail moment, the low wing loading, and the abundance of power give you a stable and predictable airplane. Take-offs require very little rudder input, rolls are crisp and axial, and loops can be as large as you wish. The large propeller provides ample braking action in the downlines to avoid overspeeding, and if you enjoy flying knife-edge, then the Arcus II performs this with ease. No roll or pitch coupling here, just apply a touch of rudder, control the throttle to hold your line, and the Arcus will knife edge until the cows come home. Finally, when the time comes, throttle back, and the Carbon Arcus settles into a nice sink rate for a perfect 3-point landing every time.
