Just about any plane can do 3D if you power it accordingly (I used to hover my Avistar with a TT Pro-46 and an 11.5x4 prop), so the real question is how easily does it do 3D. The Aresti looks to be similar in configuration to most current pattern planes. This means that it's got a relatively tall fuselage, long tail movement, and what looks to be a decent sized rudder all which will aid precision flying and knife edge manuveurs.
BUT the other control surfaces don't look to be adequately sized to make 3D flying "easy"... And if it is like other pattern planes it's wing will be pretty thin as well. If you look at the current crop of planes specifically designed for 3D, you'll notice that they all have huge control surfaces and pretty thick wings.
