BVM had the F model on display at FL jets. PNP for something like 6k.

It is the 1/8th size.

They were displaying a lot of PNP models.

Uggghhhh

C's fly way better

Oh I remember when BV was working on his own F-18 (2001 maybe??). E/F did not exist back then! 1/6 scale with true scale landing gear...........those days are gone forever.

Yea amigo I imagine if completed it would be in the ultra bandit price range.

Agreed!!! C model one sexy beach! Tam will be cranking out pipes soon.

Here are a couple of Seba and the Team Viper guys! Fantastic flying!

Sweet!

With prevailing north/south winds, having a runway oriented in that direction would mean that half the day pilots are looking into the sun. Worse than any crosswind in my opinion. Being at the event and able to fly from 8:30-5:30 without the sun ever being a factor was pretty awesome.

Any additional information on those 'ACE' turbines for sale?

Global Jet Club will be carrying them.

Pretty cool though I had the misfortune of leaving my truck open at the end of the day and they had to run it up one more time with my truck 10 feet behind the exhuast. Took most of the way to the hotel to get the smell out of my truck.

Yeah, but having your jet's gear not get ripped out from a rough landing from x-wind gusts would be awesome as well.

And then if the pilot stations faced east, photogs could get awesome "golden hour" pics. And because gear wouldn't be getting ripped out, pilots could fly again and again!

Hey FT has been doing this for years, so:

A: Who am I to question

B: He knows what he's doing with his event and the pilots he gets!;)

Thanks for the clarification Jeff, sorry Buck!!

I can only hope that a C model will eventually be incorporated into the line up. I've got a Peggy HP looking for a home.

hopeffully as guys get home from event we Will see more pix and inisight into upcoming projects at event or amplifying info on other jets of interest to folks.

Bill,

Lowell Wexler is the contact on them. Mike lin of GJC was also showing them and flew the foamie F-16 that is available RTF with the 60 size. They are offering the 120 size and a 220 also will be out soon. They took pre-orders at the show.

Jeff

Ahh, the art of the crosswind landig! A godly made filter to keep unwanted pilots grounded, and on with the show! LOL

The crosswind was strong but when you picked the right times it was manageable. The hard part was it was blowing from our backs and the tents would disturb the wind. Also their was a spot that had no tents right infront of the runway where the vendors where and the wind was whipping through that spot. So you could be lined up perfect on the center line then hit that one spot and get pushed over to the grass with the aircraft rolled halfway.

BTW for those that say the runway should be moved the winds in Florida in this area for the most part come out of the east or west. You cant just build a new runway because people cant land in crosswinds.

+1

Jeff

Thanks for the added information .......the units and pricing look good but we've been this route before so caution is the key word

Bill

Thanks for the kind words Andy! Your pics are great. I missed being there and seeing everyone.

Yes indeed will wait to see some results from the users. I did see the foam f-16 fly and it did well. Now lets see if it will live for any real length of time.

Perhaps we could hear your secrets and techniques for dealing with crosswinds, gusty and of various strengths, without risking potentially serious damage to the model ??

I would.....but nahhhh

Guys, Can any one help me with details about the F16 Quique Sumenzini was flying. Which Kit was that ?

awanx,

It's a highly modified BVM PNP that was built just for him.

It's a one of a kind one off deal..
