So are there two factory lines, one for JL guys and one for BVM?? Does BVM rework ALL these problems at their shop? In other words they get the bad plane from JL and then have to rework the plane to sell them as BVM?? or are all of them made by JL with BVM specs?? Just curious... An BTW JL does have a PNP version of F-16 for 1200.00 less than BVM
Well when my ordinance was drop shipped from jetlegend it was not even close to working out. I had to spend many hours filling the holes in with hysol and drilling new holes and then repainting the all the rails. Since that problem has been fixed because BVM actually gives a crap to make things right and jetlegend just lets the end user deal with it. BVM is the one making jetlegend come up to a better standard and not half ass things.

I fly mine with full ordnance ... if anyone needs the Xicoy CG machine settings that I use I'd be happy to share.
I was successful out of the gate with it last year because Greg Arnette (BVM Rep) had many flights in this configuration during the PNP development at BVM and shared his learnings with me. Around 75 flights on it now.

If BVM is the exclusive dealer for the JL F-16 they should support the product where ever it is purchased. Again its not a BVM product but a JL product. Really sucks you gotta pay that extra couple THOUSAND dollars for a manual, minor upgrades and their "support". Dont get me wrong i love BVM and THEIR OWN PRODUCTS. But bottom line is this is not their product and they should support the aircraft from whom ever itnis purchased. When purchasing one of these toys, which is really what it is. A couple thousand dollars may not be alot for some people but for most its ALOT of money. With the difference in price between JL's pnp version vs BVM i can purchase everythimg else i need to get the plane in the air. Ie radio, powerbox if used, batteries, shoot for the difference in price you can almost purchase the turbine itself if you were able to aquire the aircraft at JL's price. Totally unfair IMO

Johnny9390, now you are sounding like a spoiled little brat. Have you ever heard of Capitalism? If BVM wants to charge more for a mirrored kit, then let them. Obviously, if nobody bought this kit they would either discontinue w/ BVM or drop the price. If you dont like it, then you can go start up your own company and show BVM how to improve their successful business model.

So you guys are still liking this kit, eh? Seriously considering the BVM kit. Is the wiring and are the servos etc holding up ok???
Been scheming... planning a JETI system with a PowerBox Mercury. Anyone running similar? Would you pull the sequencer and use the radio to sequence and the JETI pressure sensor for the tememtry and gear low-pressure Failsafe?
Anything else you'd change or pull out and replace with JETI?

Running all stock in the kingtech F16 accept made smoke tanks fuel and installed a separate air tank and fill valve for the brakes so they can use a lower pressure then gear.

Mine won't be flown with a bunch of ordinance hanging off it and while the included smoke pump may be okay, mine's getting the PB turbine smoke pump. Other than that, it'll all be stock.
