RE: BVM EDF
This is a funny thread. There is so much speculation in here as to what BV is doing and why its the way to do it or not, etc., etc., and then you wonder why BV keeps it under wraps. He just doesn't want people to speculate and form ideas about how well his product will work until its ready for production. According to him, things are still changing daily and he doesn't want folks to think its locked in. When its in production, you'll for sure be able to see it all...
When its ready, doubtless it will be expensive, and yes, there probably will be higher performance systems for experienced electric types who want to build up their own. However, I have no doubt that the system will work well in his airframes and will be an alternative for those who want to purchase a turn-key electric system that has BVM engineering and support.
I believe that the Viper and F-86 system/airframes will be first, but doubtless others like the T-33/F-80 are good candidates as well and will probably follow...
