This question has been asked many times over the years on RCU and always by someone who has never built a BVM kit. What does that tell you? I guess B.V would start to be slightly concerned if some people who have bought from him asked the same question.

As it happens, tonight I have just dug a 6 year old Super Bandit out after a year in the attic and decided to do a "service" after 20 mins of failing to anything that was not in perfect working order I gave up and started to cycle the NiCad’s. That tells me enough to know my money is well spent.

I also have a BobCat with well in excess of 300 flights on it and its as good as the day I bought it.

There is a premium beer on sale in the UK called Stella and their motto is "Reassuringly Expensive" same goes for BVM.
