The Durafly Carbon Arcus is a sleek and beautiful F3A biplane designed to perform smooth, F3A-style pattern aerobatics and is the perfect choice for honing your aerobatic skills. It features a durable, lightweight EPO airframe with carbon reinforcement, aluminum landing gear, carbon interplane struts, and an advanced 4S motor and prop combination that offers a high power-to-weight ratio for unending verticals and incredible performance.


Flying the Arcus F3A is a dream, the long tail moment, the low wing loading, and the abundance of power give you a stable and predictable airplane. Take-offs require very little rudder input, rolls are crisp and axial, and loops can be as large as you wish. The large propeller provides ample braking action in the downlines to avoid overspeeding, and if you enjoy flying knife-edge, then the Arcus II performs this with ease. No roll or pitch coupling here, just apply a touch of rudder, control the throttle to hold your line, and the Arcus will knife edge until the cows come home. Finally, when the time comes, throttle back, and the Carbon Arcus settles into a nice sink rate for a perfect 3-point landing every time.


This PNF model requires no glue to assemble, the EPO airframe simply bolts and snaps together, and the motor, ESC, and fast, high-power metal geared, digital servos come pre-installed. On this model, it's all in the detail that sets it apart from other foam models. The pushrods feature ball links on the control horns for precise, bind-free movement, and the decals come pre-applied saving you time and trouble. Accessing the receiver and battery is easy thanks to the magnetically secured hatch, and should you need to access the motor, even the molded cowl is secured with magnets. The large battery bay will easily accommodate 1800-2200mAh 4S LiPo batteries. The rugged carbon landing gear, lightweight foam wheels, and molded wheel pants finish off the Arcus. Due to the low parts count and no glue design, the Arcus can be assembled and ready to fly in around 30 minutes.


The advanced Carbon Arcus F3A biplane is a must for all those pilots who want a great-looking, aerobatic biplane that is lightweight but strong, a dream to fly, and with a performance that will amaze all your fellow flyers at the local airfield.

• Plug-N-Fly with pre-installed motor, ESC, and fast, high-power servos

Ordered a Second one !

Feb 25, 2025

Loved the finish and the scheme of this model so much that I want to keep one spare. While the first one has done only a few flights the second is on backorder. The model is amazing and easy to fly. Full five stars...

Vahva suositus. Strongly recommend

Feb 22, 2025

Laadukkuus hintaan nähden yllätti positiivisesti ja lentää vakaasti kokoisekseen. Liikeradat kannattaa laittaa varsinkin siivekkeissä ohjeitakin pienemmäksi ja runsaasti expoa muihinkin pintoihin. Jos käytät 2200mAh 4S akkuja, niin mahdollisimman taakse kiinnitettynä.
The quality was a positive surprise for the price and it flies stably for its size. It is worth putting the motion paths, especially on the wings, smaller and with plenty of expo to other surfaces. If you use 2200mAh 4S batteries, then as far back as possible.

Get one!

I cannot fault this plane. Assembly was a breeze, with everything fitting perfectly.
It looks great, at least to my eye.
However best of all it flies beautifully.

The plane is very beautiful in the red and white scheme. Assembly is simple and without any problem. The wheels are a bit small so flying in tall grass may be an issue. Overall an Excellent model. Thanks HK

Carbon Arcus.

Feb 11, 2025

This is a very good model , excellent value and flys on rails, no trim needed for the first flight. Assembly time 15 minutes, tool longer to program the TX.
However, the prop is an issue, and I would highly recommend replacing it with an APC E equivalent.

Great model

Feb 09, 2025

This is a very good model for the price. I was a little disappointed that is needs quite a lot of rudder to aileron mix for knife edge flight ( see also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjEZL-fnpz0 ) but is flies very well and its orientation is very easy to see in the sky. I also agree with Martin that the servos are unusually good for a low cost model, they centre quite well and I do not feel a need to replace them. The Turnigy nano-tech 2200mah 4S 25~50C is a good lipo for this model and it flies very well with the lipo a the front of the battery tray. They give me about 10 minutes of mixed flying.
Another good review to watch is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Uf3R3xFd2c
