Default Aresti/Irvine 53 Question....

What is the best tuned pipe to match up with an Irvine 53? Looking for something I can easily bolt on, has great performance, and looks good too. If you currently fly an Aresti what do you use to pull it around?

Kurt,

Didn't you design the FW190?

BTW: I fly the Aresti with OS46FX and MACS muffler. It's a good combo.

Yeah, one of my all time best airframes. But I only do models now, a little event called WWII put a damper on my large "scale" designs! :^)

Hi Kurt,
I'm kinda partial to Lang Nase Dora version myself. My wife has a Saito 72 on her Aresti and it flies like ahhh..... a Fw190d9. Really it flies very well if you are into pattern like flying. Replace the tank though, as every Hangar 9 tank I've used leaked badly over time or just split.

The Ultrathrust muffler is supposed to fit fine and is the same one that fits the OS 46FX. I am running one on my 46FX and it really boosts up power. It gave me an additional 1300 rpm. Bolts on like a regular muffler and looks good to.
Just my $0.02
