Flew mine today for the first time. No probs. Great plane! Doesn't like to slow down, though...

Here's a trick for you Aresti owners: Mount a Hobbico Volt-Watch INSIDE the fuse in the plywood opening just above the wing - tape it in place with box tape on the Ultracote. It will show through the white Ultracote. Cool!

BTW: I think the recommended low-rate and high-rate elevator throw isn't quite enough. My first mistake with this plane was taking off with low rates - almost didn't have enough elevator to lift off over the weeds. It shows no tendancy to snap at high speeds with full up elevator.

The OS 46-FX is enough engine for this plane - it's really quiet.
