Robbe Scirocco XL 4.5m PNP+ electric sailplane, 4.5 m wingspan, full-Carbon CFK construction, 4 flaps, brushed electric motor, white. Ready to fly with battery and transmitter.
Robbe Scirocco XL 4.5m PNP+ — White Full-Carbon High-Performance Sailplane
The Robbe Scirocco XL is a 4.5-metre wingspan electric sailplane designed for intermediate to advanced RC pilots. It arrives as a PNP (Plug and Play) kit, meaning the airframe is fully built and ready to fly with only the battery and transmitter required.
4.5 m wingspan delivers excellent glide performance and stable flight in thermals
Full-Carbon (CFK) construction provides a rigid, lightweight airframe for precise handling
Electric brushed motor propulsion keeps operating costs low and maintenance simple
4 flaps (Klappenfluegel) enable fine-tuning of lift and landing approach
What sets the Scirocco XL apart
The combination of a full-carbon airframe with a 4.5-metre span places this sailplane in the upper segment of electric RC gliders. The PNP+ configuration reduces assembly time to minutes, letting pilots focus on flying rather than building. Four flaps offer a level of aerodynamic control typically found on larger, more expensive models.
Ideal for...
Intermediate and advanced RC pilots who want a high-performance electric sailplane without the complexity of a self-build kit. The 4.5-metre wingspan suits open-field flying and thermal soaring, making it a strong choice for hobbyists who prioritise flight duration and glide ratio over aerobatic manoeuvres.
Anwendung von Robbe Scirocco XL 4.5m PNP+
Install the included battery and connect to a compatible transmitter
Launch by hand or with a bungee in moderate thermals
Use the four flaps to adjust lift and control the landing approach
After flight, inspect the CFK airframe for any stress marks and store in a protective case
Robbe is a German manufacturer specialising in RC model aircraft, with a strong focus on electric sailplanes and gliders. The Scirocco line is known for combining carbon-fibre airframes with accessible PNP assembly, targeting intermediate to advanced pilots. The brand has been active in the RC modelling market for multiple decades and maintains a distribution network across European hobby shops.
PNP (Plug and Play) means the airframe is fully assembled and ready to fly — only the battery and a compatible transmitter are needed. The + indicates additional features such as the four flaps and the high-performance sailplane configuration.
The Scirocco XL requires one battery (1x) to complete the setup. The specific cell count and capacity depend on the motor and flying style; consult the manufacturer's recommendations for optimal performance.
The 4.5-metre wingspan provides a large lifting surface, resulting in excellent glide ratios and stable thermal soaring. The longer span also contributes to a smooth, predictable flight envelope suited to intermediate pilots.
CFK offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, making the airframe both rigid and lightweight. It resists deformation under normal flying loads, though care should be taken during transport and storage to avoid point impacts.
The Scirocco XL is best suited for intermediate to advanced pilots due to its 4.5-metre wingspan and sailplane flight characteristics. Beginners with experience in smaller electric gliders may transition to this model with instructor guidance.
