Yeah the scratch built, I lost both. First one was 15 flights old, got to one comp with it. The second, only had 9 flights.
I had the Aresti III arf in between, and while I am thankful to have had it to keep flying, I didn't really enjoy it.
It was a bit heavy for my 140L, and I realise after I flew my new one this week, which just flew basicaly without any trim adjustment, just how out of square/alignment the Aresti was. Plus for , the Aresti always seem to fly too fast, if I slowed it down it would get very wishy washy. I still have it, but will no longer entertain flying it. Plus I no longer have an engine in one piece, the crankshaft is broken off at the front, the front piece was still attached to the spinner.


Does anybody know if the Hatori pipe is STEEL or Aluminium? If it's steel, I might be able to make a new front, when the 'O' ring fits. If it is steel, can sombody tell me the inside diameter of the front, PLUS the inside diameter for the 'O' ring groove?

The Hatori header is bent too. NOT kinked, but it needs to be rebent if I am to use it again. If somebody could give me the Plan view dimensions that would be great. It's the 822

Jpayne,
We've met a couple of times at the masters YEARS ago, but you probably don't remember me now.
I have always been told that 5 cells was never any problem. Maybe I will do some digging around for more specs on the radio gear. For me, a regulator is just another thing to go wrong, and I have been running 5 cells for over 10 years. BUT that's not to say it's right either.
What sort of regulator?

Thanks for all help. Still not convinced on PCM though. But maybe I was just unlucky with that receiver.
