Robbe Scirocco XL Full Carbon PNP+ – The Ultimate Large-Scale Thermal Glider
The Robbe Scirocco XL Full Carbon is the impressive evolution of the highly successful Scirocco L, now redesigned on a larger scale and available in a premium full-carbon construction. Developed in response to pilot demand, this new XL version brings a significant increase in wingspan, performance, and thermal efficiency while maintaining the outstanding handling characteristics that made the original Scirocco models so popular.
With its impressive 4.5-metre wingspan, the Scirocco XL Full Carbon offers exceptional soaring capabilities and improved thermal performance, making it the perfect choice for pilots looking for a high-performance all-round glider with a strong focus on thermal flight. Despite its size and efficiency, the model remains highly versatile and is fully capable of performing elegant aerobatics such as rolls, loops, turns, and other smooth manoeuvres.
At Aerobertics, we appreciate models that combine advanced engineering, outstanding flight performance, and exceptional build quality. The Scirocco XL Full Carbon perfectly represents these values: a beautifully designed sailplane that delivers both impressive presence in the air and enjoyable flying characteristics for experienced hobby pilots.
Advanced Full Carbon Construction
The Scirocco XL Full Carbon features a modern GRP/CFRP moulded shell construction, offering excellent rigidity, strength, and durability while keeping the weight optimized for thermal performance.
The reinforced H-shaped main spar uses a sophisticated sandwich construction with Airex core material and laminated carbon fibre reinforcement, providing exceptional structural strength and ensuring the wing remains precise even during demanding flight manoeuvres.
The three-piece wing design uses a carefully engineered CFRP square spar connection system, creating a strong and accurate connection between the centre section and outer wing panels. This ensures excellent load transfer while keeping assembly simple and reliable.
The refined aerodynamic design and elegant fuselage shape provide excellent attitude recognition, making the Scirocco XL easy to orient even at great distances.
PNP+ Version – Ready for Minimal Assembly
