Arcus M
FLIGHT MANUAL
Turning flight stalls
(power
plant
retracted)
When stalled during a coordinated 45° banked turn and a forward c/g, the
Arcus M - with the control stick pulled fully back -will continue to fly in a stalled
condition.
With aft c/g during the turning stall, the inside wing will drop and the nose will
drop below the horizon. The stall can be stopped immediately by relieving the
back pressure on the control stick.
There is no uncontrollable tendency to enter a spin. The transition into a normal
flight attitude is conducted by an appropriate use of the controls.
The loss of height from the beginning of the stall until regaining a normal level
flight attitude is approx. 150 m (492 ft).
Influence of water ballast
Apart from higher stall speeds - caused by the higher mass in flight - water
ballast in the wing tanks has no negative influence on the stall characteristics.
With water ballast in the fin tank (option), stall characteristics are like those
found in an aft c/g position.
