I was thinking of buying the Aresti from H9. Im probably gonna still get the funtana for 3D though instead. Well anyway, is this plane good? This will be my second plane. I learn how to fly quickly and mastered my semi sym wing trainer. Thanks in advance!

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.

I have a Irvine 53 on my aresti with over 100 flights.
It is very well built and flies great. You won't be dissapointed

Yeah that was the exact reason i was before leaning away from the funtana. Not seeing the white plane in the sky. But i guess the transparent yellow bottom will help out. Yeah ive even got confused with my avistar in the air and its kinda scary. Well anyway, the aresti wont do hovering, parachutes, blenders, etc. though or will it? I definately wont get a MDS engine. They just look cheap. Same with their "new" evolutions. I would still get a 2 stroke though...Probably a .46 FX engine from OS

Eddie...That isnt the muffler sticking out from the side is it?
