Hi, All.
I'm new to this forum just wanted to introduce myself. I've got 33 years flying jets both military and civilian and 45 years in R/C. Main interests are giant scale and jets. I have an original BVM Viper which is still flying (12yrs.).
Currently building a BVM F--100 and am looking for others to share building experiences with.

Default Super Sabre video

I've put together a short video clip. It's about 4mb in size so give it some time to load. Here it is:

Also, do you have any more video clips of Jet flying? I'm new to Jets and am trying to gather as much info as possible before I take the plunge.

How did you get into the jets and was it a pleasant experience at first?
Thanks Again

MArty,

My F-100 is a BVM product. The best source for infomation would be their website, here's the url - http://www.bvmjets.com/

You can find some more videos on my website, click the WWW button.

I came up thru the days of ducted fans, so it was challenge to say the least.

Captainbob,

The finish is Coverite Presto. It's self adhedsive backed mylar film covering. Order it from Tower Hobbies.

Boy six shooter they will think the picture is you. Any one building a BVM F100 I have been able to set up my flaps and slats on one channel. With out the need of any other electronic items. Saber Rattler.
