Of course there is a HUGE market for EDF and who better to ride the next big wave than BVM .Technology in the RC jet world is advancing so rapidly with every passing day,it's amazing! It is breathtaking just how far EDF has come,seems just like yesterday that we all struggled to keep an electric jets airborne and with enough power! Then the run times were so short that you really couldnt enjoy the flights at all.Now we are seeing some electric jets hit in excess of 120 mph and stay up 20 mins or longer.It is truly amazing how advanced things have gotten with EDF and in relatively short period of time too.I had a buddy here that had a HET Super Sniper(mini Bandit lookalike) and that friggen thing was amazing-every bit of 70-80 mph at 1/2 throttle!! There however was a downfall to that jet-it didnt like to get airborne very easily via bungee launch.You had to have the AOA perfect or you were kissing the dirt and if it did so you always had fiberglass/airframe damage.I had one of those but sold it after seeing how tempermental his was.But the bottomline is that jet was awesome and was an extreme machine in flight.I have been looking for just the right EDF jet and combo and this BVM one may be the answer I have been looking for.

Another point to hit on is that the market for EDF is gonna become even more popular /larger cause many guys want to get into jets but have 2 factors against them 1) dont have the funds to buy a turbine jet and/or 2) their flying site may have strict rules that wont allow DF or turbine jets there cause of the noise levels , have some of the old farts that want to be really difficult or ultimately simply dont have the right surface to fly from or the runway isnt long enough.We are fortunant here to have a very big flying facility to fly on-Fentress NALF.We not only have 8,000 feet of runway & airspace but we also have a huge nicely tailored grass field for EDF operations
