1.5m Arctus DLG - SO floaty! Teaser

I finally found a fantastic space to fly 🤩 Celebrating this with my newest model, my 1.5m MMT Arctus which I was able to pick up on a great used deal! Here is a first taste of what my first flight experiences with it felt like. I could not decide on what to pack into the first edit, so this little teaser is what I ended up preparing, showing how floaty this model feels on the last meters back to you before catching.

Awesome gliding ability! Yes that half meter gives a better performance.

yes! wing cube loading just gets so much better with size while the wing loading per dm² actually is the same on my 2 models!

@@MoritzWeller I heard that the air partickes are getting fit to the wing better, if the wingspan is equal to or larger than 1m. Nice, I will test a 2m wingspan glider for hand launch (discuss launch) how can glide and catching thermal in 5-10m height. Thank you for sharing this video.

yes the ground effects are great with 1.5m DLGs

true, although the wing cube loading itself also is just so much more better with the increased size, so it feels way more floaty all around, also when not close to the ground 🤩
