I found the post on my local clubs website, posted by a fellow club member who lives in Columbia ,SC and travels some routes out of there. You are correct, it does look like the same jet (mike gills). I agree, that the details are vague and since I put myself in the middle here I will try to get more info. I have no phone number for Steve, who posted it at

www.flyingtigersrc.com

I have left replies on the thread posted there requesting more info. I have had dealings with Steve and consider him a reliable character. But you all probably saw my other post concerning another "reliable character" LOL

"Stolen RC Jet - Please keep an eye out



This plane was stolen just after Thanksgiving.

The Bandit was built to BVM spec’s with all JR servos and a Smooth stop brake actuator. It had a JR R1221 receiver with A123 batteries for the flight pack. A name was under the electronics tray (this may be removed or changed) on an AMA label and the turbine was a Jet Cat P120SE. This is all standard equipment per BVM. The one and only thing that stands out is the paint job. This is the only bandit I know of painted this way.

Please contact me if you know anything about where this jet may be.

Thanks!"
Steve
