Description

2nd Place, Junior E-36, 2024 US Nationals, Paul Finn

Jay Jackson’s classic Top Banana is an enduring Nostalgia era 1/2A gas model which builds light and flies exceptionally well. This is one of the easiest to trim contest freeflight models ever. NFFS selected the Top Banana to be part of the 2022 One Design competition.

Featuring a wingspan of 36″, the Top Banana is also legal for E36 when powered by a 2s lipo system and it climbs extremely well on modern E36 setups.

All parts are included for mounting a variety of motors and engine mounts. Doculam covering is included, but you will need to apply tissue over the wing center panels atop the doculam when using that material.

Recommended E-36 setup:

APC E 6×6 propeller
