Pattern performance with great looks by Vic Bunze astering the basics of RC flying is fun, but most pilots eventually want to move on to the thrill of aerobatics.

KIT FEATURES The Aresti 40 is well built and comes expertly covered with Hangar 9 UltraCote; the four-color scheme is very attractive and is highly visible during maneuvers. The kit includes a fuel tank with hardware, painted 2-piece aluminum landing gear and wheels, tailwheel and steering assembly, universal aluminum engine mount, tinted canopy, hinges and all the required control-system hardware. The major parts come individually wrapped in plastic bags, and there were very few wrinkles in the covering. The 42-page instruction manual is chock full of helpful photos detailing the assembly process. It is organized into 20 sections and has three to six clear photographs on each page. It also lists other tools and supplies needed to complete the model. The Aresti goes together easily and takes only two or three evenings to complete. Assembly is quite typical of today's quality-engineered ARF models and offers no surprises. WING ASSEMBLY All of the Aresti's control surfaces are preslotted, and assembly begins by attaching the ailerons to each wing half using the supplied CA hinges and some thin CA.

COMMENTS: the Hangar 9 Aresti 40 ARF Is an easy-to-build aerobatic model that really performs, and Its attractive UltraCote color scheme is easy to see while performing aerobatics. The model's precise handling characteristics are a real confidence builder for the student aerobatic pilot and a joy for the skilled pilot. Give one a try. You'll love it! I joined the wing halves with the 1-piece plywood wing joiner. The joiner is flat on one side and tapered on the other: the tapered side faces forward and slides into a slot in each wing half. The joiner also sets the dihedral angle of 1 x - : i inches. Installing the aileron servos is next. 1 located the necessary hardware, and then cut out the servo openings in the wing. You'll need to supply two 6-inch servo extensions, and the instructions provide a useful tip to help thread the extensions through the wing using a string and a nut to "plumb" it through the wing. After 1 mounted the servos, I connected the linkages from the servos to the ailerons.
