Dear customer,
Congratulations on your choice of a factory-assembled mo-
del aircraft from the robbe
Modellsport range. Many thanks for placing your trust in us.
The model can be ready for the air when you have completed
just a few simple procedures. Please
read right through these instructions and the separate in-
formation sheets before attempting to assemble and fly the
model, as this will make it much easier to complete the tasks
required.
Please study the illustrations and the brief instructions
to obtain a clear understanding of the individual stages of
construction. All parts must be trial-fitted “dry” (without glue)
before you reach for the glue. Assign the individual compon-
ents to the various stages of assembly.
All directions, such as “right-hand”, are as seen from the tail
of the model, looking forward.
We constantly strive to update our products to reflect the la-
test developments. You can find details of technical improve-
ments and revised documentation on the Internet by calling
up the appropriate product description at our website: www.
robbe.com.
The model
The V-Tail Prop is the latest addition to the robbe Arcus fami-
ly, and is an eye-catcher in several ways - not just due to its
unusual looks. Its above-average performance in the air, and
its suitability for any pilot from the relatively inexperienced
flyer with some experience of aileron models right up to the
advanced pilot, are ample proof of its tremendous versatility.
With its compact dimensions, the Arcus V-Tail Prop is the
ideal "evening flyer", as it is easy to transport in any car, and
can be ready for flying the moment you reach the club patch.
The model can also be fitted with an optional rudder servo.
