Back in 1969, Top Flite introduced an aerobatic kit called the Contender that was so enjoyable to fly, modelers are flying them today. To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the model, Top Flite has released the model as a Gold Edition with all the Gold Edition engineering that makes it even easier to build.
The D-tube wing goes together as one piece for fast, easy assembly, without the need for a joiner or center joint. Fuselage sites are formed from one-piece, die-cut 3/32" balsa.
The unique, center-flap option shown here allows fliers to make short "carrier" landings. All control surfaces are stick-built to minimize flying weight.
Concealed on the bottom of the fuselage, this handy compartment provides easy access to the Contender's fuel tank and radio gear.
