I feel BV is getting in the market at the right time.

I for one had considered a turbine until I looked at cost, finding a location to fly and the waiver issue. The waiver issue is the main reason I won't go to a turbine. After flying high performance aircraft including pattern and pylon racing for 38 years, being told I had to have someone hold my hand to learn to fly a turbine was it. I am also afraid the noise issue with turbines will rear its ugly head like with glow and gas over the years. Don't won't to invest a huge sum in a turbine setup to find out I can't fly it without having to drive to Timbuktu.

I started flying smaller (Mini480)EDF a year ago after having good success with an electric pattern plane. The electric stuff just works if you pay attention to details and no mess when done(glow or kerosene). Now I am planning a 120mm EDF based on an older high performance DF after success with the other electrics. The high performance electric stuff is not cheap, but it is quite a bit less expensive than turbines when you look at total package costs.

What BV will bring to the market is plug and play for the average person. That is what he does well. It will cost, but it will work.
