Dave Platt designed the .40 size Contender for Top Flight Models in 1970.  Since that time, it has proven to be an exceptionally long-lived design, being still in production today.  Now 48 years later, Dave has designed the mini-Contender at 40″ span and 382 sq. in area, intended for 200W electric power.  The model retains all the good looks, SIMPLE construction, and the flyability of the larger model.
