This all moulded 60" from Baudis Model is a real blast.
I've flown it on three separate occasions now, the latest outing at the Bwlch before an F3F was typical. The wind was around 30 mph and the lift was excellent. Before I gave it to Ian Mason and Mark Passingham to try, I flew it for a while and have to say I was amazed how well it handled the blustery wind unballasted. Any aerobatics you can think of are a doddle and I reckon it's one of the few 60"ers that could go below 40 seconds at F3F.
In addition to rocketing around in a straight line, the Banana is one of the best cornerers in the business. Added to that the fact that it is a beautifully balanced flyer that can float around on nothing and the brakes are really effective makes this a real top end 60"er.
Ian Mason, Mark Passingham and the other F3Fers present were all equally impressed. Move over Mini Ellipse and Shooting Star (Nemesis) your reign has ended,
