Robbe Scirocco XL 4.5M ARF – High-Performance Electric Sailplane
The Robbe Scirocco XL 4.5M ARF is a large-scale electric sailplane designed for experienced RC pilots seeking extended, silent flight sessions. Built with a full-GFK and CFK construction, it delivers a lightweight yet rigid airframe that translates every thermal into sustained soaring.
4.5-metre wingspan with full-span control surfaces for precise thermalling and cross-country performance
Electric brushless motor drive — quiet, efficient, and ready for slope or thermal soaring
ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) format minimises assembly time while keeping the build rewarding
High-gloss red and white livery with bold Robbe branding, visible at a distance
What sets the Scirocco XL apart
The Scirocco XL combines a competition-proven design with modern materials — carbon-fibre-reinforced GFK keeps the weight at just 2.22 kg while maintaining the stiffness needed for aggressive manoeuvres. The four flaps provide fine lift control, letting you centre weak thermals that smaller sailplanes would miss.
Ideal for...
Experienced RC pilots and competition sailplane enthusiasts who value long, silent flights and precise handling. The 4.5-metre span demands a spacious flying field and a capable transmitter with at least four channels.
