The Aresti is a straight flying plane, if you point it in a direction it will go. It really knife edges great, 4 point rolls great, loops great. All in all it's a good plane, it's built good, I dead stick mine when I was using the MDS 58 and smashed the front but I repaired it and it still flys great. There are some down falls to this plane, you need to land it with power never come close to a stall and try to turn it because it will fall out of the sky. I now have the Satio 72 on mine and thats a really good combo, stay away from the MDS that Hanger 9 recomends. I haven't flown the Funtana but a fellow club members has one and it looks good on the ground but in the air it blends in the sky and is hard to see. The Aresti can also become hard to see if the sky is cloudy with dark clouds. Anyway I like my Aresti and I have no regrets.
