roderic craig Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Some years ago I was at Tony Fu's looking for a Typhoon but he hadn't one and suggested I wait for John Hammond 's Arresti but that seemed to take forever and ended up with the 108 . Team Aeroic don't seem to be prolific producers and now I see Composite RC in Germany seem to be making an identical model to the Typhoon and the Aresti 2m. They don't have an email so can't quiz them on whether theirs has the sine wave wing of John Hammond or all the really robust boom and wing joiner etc! Can anyone enlighten me?

Phil.Taylor Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 There was a discussion about composite rc models on here last october - link below if it works. They seem to be just re-badging / re-selling other models eg RCRCM, Valenta, Aeroic - and for a hefty price mark up. No evidence of them actually making anything. If you want a Typhoon go direct to RCRCM If you want an Aresti go direct to Zhou in China - he made them for JH Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil.Taylor Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Also have a look on Flightech - the Hurricane might be just what you are after. (The Toy 2m is getting good reviews) https://www.flightech.co.uk/f3j-slope-models/ Phil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Si Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Bit late i know but yes they have the sign wave spar in them, had a 108 delivered end of Jan this year along with a Hurricane that's 2.2m and a DragonFly that's 3m and all have that spar in them. Now waiting for 3 X 2m Aresti to be made and delivered . been very impressed with the fit and finish hence why got the others on order . Just need Zhou to make up Neil's order then he can get onto ours as love the 108 its just a very big lump so that will end up being a glider for very windy days and the 2m for the rest thanks Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roderic craig Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 Oh thats very helpful. Did try to contact China by email which wasn't easy as they seemed to want Chinese lettering!! However did get a reply but they wanted £100 shipping. Are the models you are getting for sale . Are the 2m Aresti up for grabs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian F3F Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Zhou's English is excellent, probably better than many posts on this forum. Post for 1 model from china are always going to be disproportionately large. I'd speak with Neil at flight Tech and ask him when his models are arriving. Zhou is busily building now.

Its very nice and if the weather would play ball it would be in the air today or tomorrow so fingers crossed for tomorrow Its more or less an Alpina fuz with a Red Shift wing so supper solid and been told stupid fast and fun to fly,needs 8mm servos for the Ailerons though as very thin and not a lot of room but the rest seem fine and easy to fit . goes together very nice and the finish it really nice. Know one being flown and he loves it and likes it full of ballast and going like its **** is on fire lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the 2m Aresti up for grabs? Yes down side to just one ordering hence why we are buying 3 as then the post is split between the 3 of us making it a bit cheaper. the order me and my mate had beginning of the year was just us 2 so it was a ton each but we had 4 models so at £50 each on top we felt it was very cheap as for what i paid for the 108 as opposed to a shop i could of got 2 and then some even with the post on top but its the luck of the draw on if you get customs on top as well that could add a good chunk on top as well but we felt it was still worth it and we got to chose the colours as well rather than just getting what the shop had , hence why we have done a second order and knowing me and my mates we will again lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH if I don't go it'll end up that I should have gone and if I do go, then I shouldn't have..... seems to be the pattern that plagues me recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
