The following is a list of the BVM jets made in Winter Springs Fl.
T-33 Turbine or EDF 50's vintage
F-80 Turbine or EDF 50's vintage
MiG-15 Turbine or EDF 50's vintage
F-4 Phantom Turbine or twin EDF 60's vintage
Super Bandit Turbine
Ultra Bandit Turbine
e-Bandit EDF
F-100D Turbine 60's vintage single seat
F-100F Turbine 60's vintage 2 seat
80" F-86 Turbine 50's vintage
Electra Jet (kit) EDF
That's a total of eleven different airframes.
The KingCat, BobCat, Bandit ARF Mk II and the Electra ARF are produced offshore under BVM supervision. BVM supplies the entire inner structure, consisting of laser and machine cut parts for these five jets.
Last I counted, BVM has close to 20 full time employees, and a couple of part timers. The above listed BVM jets are produced by Americans being paid American wages and benefits, and BVM pays American taxes.
BVM has no connection with Jet Legend.
BVM represents and sells the entire Skymaster/X-Treme Jets line, and the BVM/Premier F-16 in 1/6 scale, plug and play.
Have a look at the BVM Jets website: www.bvmjets.com

Looks like it is time to ask the moderator to shut down this thread. Seems only a handful can actually stay on task and give an opinion as to what they would like with out another agenda.

The jet in my fleet I don't think I'd ever sell is my Ultra Flash. It can be powered by anything from a 70 to 180 sized turbine, it's big enough to see, yet small enough to transport & anyone that's been in jets for a bit most likely has something in stock to power it. Anything smaller than that IMO becomes a specialty item for those with 20/20 vision or better ONLY! & no one wants to pay what it cost to make those all-composite little guys in the U.S. The catch with a sport jet is it has to look and perform well.
+1....i love my ultra flash with a cheetah for power.

Best built and toughest airframes in the industry are made in Missouri by Tom Cook Jet model products.... Nothing else takes the abuse that these Jets endure! "No flex plates"

Why would anyone knock flex plates?! They've saved my airframe many times while learning to land. Much rather an easily changed flex plate break versus internal damage to the wings or formers/spars ripping out of the airframe...

www.jackhollandjets.com a large U.S. built sport jet made in Texas.
ALSO you guys and your " puny " jets! Anything less than 180 is too small, I would like to see some 300-400N frames, they are easier to see in the sky and fly more like the real thing.

I'd really like a Hawk 100 in 1/7th as well. All the ones out there are for the old fellas with bad eyes 
A F-5A would be nice. in 1/7th it would be an awesome size for any size vehicle and wouldn't need much room to fly in.
There also doesn't seem to be a really nice A-4 that I can think of. Not one that has scale gear and etc other than the CompArf. Did they ever figure out the gear problem?

If a very low cost Sport Jet would hit the market you would not be able to make them fast enough. No twin booms either! I'm talking about the look of a flash but the price of a Turbinator or Reaction 54. 12-18lb turbine would be perfect. Something like the Hurricane but never saw production.

Like many people I fly with, I am a sport flier. If I do get a scale ship it is not for the scale factor but because of the flight quality.
I am probably in the majority hat has a limited budget to work with and does not have a trailer to haul big jets around.
My interest would be a small to medium jet that will fit in my vehicle, use a smaller engine, have great flight quality, and look good (no twin boom). I prefer things that are different, not just another cookie cutter sport plane.
I am old with bad eyes, My eye doctor has made it so I can still fly small fast aircraft.
