I think this may have been discussed before but I cannot find the thread now.
I've been having a discussion with others about the Arcus in Condor and how it doesn't seem to fair so well against the Duo, especially when tasks are scored using DAeC handicap. As only a pure glider version of the Arcus has been released we're stuck at 750kg MTOW. FAI 20m rules have an MTOW limit of 800kg for the Arcus. If not limited MTOW would be 850kg seeing a decent gain in wing loading for the Arcus, compared to the pure glider version.
Will there be a Turbo or self launch version of the Arcus released in Condor 3? I think the extra wing loading would help to see the Arcus be a more viable choice of gilder to use in 20m class tasks when handicap is in play.
