My Aviation Design Super Phoenix takes 40 Gs on a regular basis.
The older one I have is now 7 years old and still flying.
I change the wing tube every two years. Aviation grade Duralumin.

My R54 with P70 pulls more Gs than any of the other jet fliers at our field have ever seen.
I do not know if it possible for air to hurt it.

Both the Comp Bobcat and the UltraFlash are very strong airframes ... On the bobcats, for the bigger engines i have always strengthened the boom sections with carbon rods and expansion foam, as well as laminating the insides of the wing panels with heavy carbon. Nothing snap rolls or lands like a BobCat

The UF could use some beefing up around the nose section for any bumpy events on the runway, and the control surfaces have the possibility of laminating, so I would suggest some reinforcement there as well.

Be responsible, and never point into the flight line, people or property when performing any manouvers, especially high G stuff ..

3rd flight on this plane ... im really liking it .. straight axial pattern like performance ..

I thought Mr. Violett's stuff came from China, just like 90% of all the jets. I'm wrong?

As I understand it, the Ulta Bandit is 100% made in USA, in BVs Florida factory, along with all of the BVM kit models like the F-100. The ARFs are made in Thailand, although there are some hybreds like the Ebandit which is a combination of USA Thailand parts refinished in Florida.

Perhaps Harley can confirm..

Opus V-jet and Funjet Ultra does handle alot of abuse :-)

Watching Ali fly his Opus at Bickley this year was just in another league, the square corner full power loops where almost impossible to follow, I have never seen an airframe take such abuse and still be in one piece, this I would say is indestructible in the air.
