Hi David G,

I would like to see the analysis. I guess the issue some folks have is that some reports such as yours do not research or make clear that MANY (Practically everyone) of us are running the BVM reccomended setup with perfect results.
(The few that have been lost (that I know of) have NOT been confirmed to be within MFG reccomendations (that I am aware of.)

I have heard seemingly reliable reports that some were flying well beyond V NE, or did not have the described linkage, atv, or voltage)


I will not participate in the nasty comments, but a lot of us including myself (with my P120 powered Bobcat) are flying the MFG's setup and it works perfectly. (I completed my Bobcat after these reports came out based on having flown Bob's airplane, and talking to other experienced Bobcat pilots.)

I have flown BV's Bobcat with a P120, and my own, and they has NEVER felt at all sluggish in pitch. I have let mine go quite fast, and the response is brisk. It will carve a mean corner in every plane.

If a person is going to fly the plane faster than the V NE listed, or using a different setup, then fine, change the servo. (But this should be clearly described as a mod outside the MFG flight envelope, not presented (or insinuated) as a fix to a defect.)

I think several of these incidents were pilots just trying to pull out of a vertical dive more sharply than the weight, balance, lift, and air density will allow. (Controlled flight into terrain.)

My only cause for aggravation is that these real life facts are not more clearly represented in your coverage.
Hope to fly jets with you guys some time soon!

Would you care to summarize the result again here? At what (calculated) speed is the servo nearly stalled (at say reccomended deflection)?

Best Regards,
David Ribbe
