AIRPLANES AND SUCH
~ Aresti 40 ~
I put this plane together and hung it from the ceiling. It's never been or flown or off the ground.
Installed is a once-used Saito FA-72 engine I obtained from a fellow flying buddy. If bought new, the plane & engine would total just a tad under $400, not including the servos, receiver (Airtronics) and costs associated to build/assemble it. Essentially, the plane is ready-to-fly. It would only require the basic check-out and pre-flight to ensure all flight surfaces are set correctly. I believe the on-board battery would require replacement and there is a very small tear on the covering on the underside of the outboard wing panel. My interests are now solely sailplanes so this has to go.

Overview
The Aresti 40 is built from top-quality balsa-and-ply and covered in Hangar
9™ UltraCote®. The kit includes all the hardware necessary to
complete construction, as well as prefinished fiberglass wheel pants and
a fiberglass cowl. Since the Aresti comes out of the box 90 % prebuilt,
it can easily be assembled in the course of a weekend.
The Aresti is compatible with a wide variety of engines. If your wallet is a little thin, an inexpensive MDS™ .48 will provide plenty of excitement. If you want to really "wring it out," you can go with the outrageously powerful Saito™ .72 four-stroke and experience spine-tingling, unlimited performance. We used the MDS .48 on our test model and found it to be plenty of engine for someone moving up from the Stick ranks.
One of the first things a neophyte pattern flyer will likely notice is just how "neutral" the Aresti flies. In other words, if you bank 45 degrees and let go of the stick, the Aresti will stay right there until you tell it to do otherwise. Pull up into the vertical and, engine power willing, the Aresti will keep going straight up. There's next to no pitch or roll coupling.
Rolls with the Aresti are crisp and precise. Hard over with the ailerons and the Aresti happily twirls around the roll axis as if it's on a spindle. Release the stick and the Aresti immediately stops in whatever attitude you choose with no overshoot. The rudder is very powerful, making knife-edge flight easy, even with smaller engines. Snaps and spins are crisp as well. After a few flights, you almost get the feeling it's reading your mind. Slow speed flight is stable, making the Aresti easy to land.
We heartily recommend the Aresti to anyone who has already had a bit of aerobatic experience. Its neutral flying qualities will reward any student of aerobatics with crisp, precise handling that will let them further their education with confidence. Likewise, these same qualities can be put to full effect in the hands of a skilled aerobatic pilot who is looking for an inexpensive, fast-building ARF sport pattern plane for Sunday fun. You can find the Aresti 40 anywhere Hangar 9 kits and accessories are sold.
