RE: Why is BVM so darn expensive??
Just my 2 cents..
BVM stuff may not be cheap , but when you have a manual, nearly immediate product support and can find every part you need to build and setup your jet with the kit - it is worth it. When I looked at getting into jets I started with BV and was very glad I did. I have tried a few other jet kits and have spent a lot of time re-engineering and shopping for parts. - usually converting them to BVM like installations! I don't get to fly as much as I would like too, but I have flown my BVM stuff (and Tam/BVM) more than any other.
