Arcus E 2.24m PNP

Retracting the engine

The auxiliary engine on the back of the fuselage can be inserted into the fuselage compartment and the covers are closed. Thanks to this, you get an aerodynamically clean glider for flying in thermals, which can last longer in gliding flight thanks to less air resistance. If necessary, you can always extend the engine and climb again.

Brake shields

It is not common for a two-meter glider to be equipped with brakes, the Arcus E is equipped with them and therefore has excellent helpers when landing. With gliders, it is usually necessary to budget carefully for the landing so that the model does not overfly the airport, but with Arcus this is not a problem, you fly to the airport, apply the brakes and simply land.

Retractable chassis

The landing gear consists of a bow auxiliary fixed wheel and a main retracting wheel. It is controlled by a separate channel, and when enclosed in the hull, the wheel is covered by a two-piece door.

Elevator assembly

When assembling the model, you slide the rod on the elevator lever and attach the entire elevator with a screw to the landing surface on top of the rudder.

Recommended batteries

We recommend a 3-cell (11.1 V) LiPol drive battery to power the model.

• 
  
• For light weight Spektrum Smart LiPo 11.1V 1300mAh 30C IC3 with IC3 connector with Smart technology and balancer connector.
  
• For economy flying Spektrum Smart G2 LiPo 11.1V 2200mAh 30C IC3 with IC3 connector with Smart technology
  

Spektrum batteries with Smart technology currently represent the most modern and safest way to maintain and charge batteries. The benefits of Spektrum Smart technology can be found here.

Recommended Spektrum transmitters

To pair the BNF version model, we recommend modern SPEKTRUM programmable transmitters:

• 
  
• 6-channel DX Spektrum DX6e DSMX series transmitter with telemetry, 250 models in memory .
  
• 6-channel transmitter of the NX Spektrum NX6 DSMX series with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connectivity .
  
• 8-channel transmitter of the NX Spektrum NX8 DSMX series with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connectivity .
  

Recommended chargers for conventional LiPol and Smart batteries

If you decide to use modern in RC models of airplanes or helicopters Smart LiPo batteries , or to charge your batteries from other manufacturers, then we recommend these chargers:

• 
  
• Network charger Spektrum S155 with one output 1x 55W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S1100 with one output 1x 100W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S2100 with one output 2x 100W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S2200 with two outputs 2x 200W .
  

Accessories for normal operation

For the normal operation of flying RC models, you need suitable adhesives, a set of tools and a storage case for LiPol batteries. From our assortment, we recommend a quality set of 1.5/2.0/2.5/3.0mm allen screwdrivers and Modelcraft Phillips screwdrivers (set of 6). Modelcraft mini pliers in a case (set) will certainly come in handy for assembly, and for cutting a Modelcraft cutting knife with an A6 pad.

For quick repair of model airplanes, we recommend the fast-curing 4-minute Epoxy glue. From our offer, we recommend Speed Epoxy 4 min. 71g

Protective covers for accumulators

Protective packaging is intended to limit the risk associated with the transport and charging of accumulators. LiPo accumulators, while maintaining small dimensions and low weight, can provide high discharge currents and have a large capacity. The LiPo battery is particularly susceptible to mechanical damage and therefore needs to be thoroughly protected.
