R.J. Gonzalez with his custom paint scheme an on all white
Electra ARF with EVF 10s power. Many successful
flights were accomplished at Florida Jets 2012. |

(kit version) and custom
VF84 "Jolly Rogers" paint scheme with EVF 12s power. |

|
Frankie Mirandes with his "All Electric" Electra ARF and
custom paint by Tommy Wood.
"All Electric" means EVF power, BVM
E-Blue Retracts and doors. The E-Brake is optional
on an Electra and not required on a grassfield. |
 |
|
|
|
 |
BV's new "All Electric" Electra X prototype.
More on this "Red Hot Racer" soon! |
| |
|
This Electra kit version by Bob Fiorenze
is now 5 years old and still powered by an early 10s
EVF. |
 |
| |
There were 5 BVM MiG-15's at
Florida Jets 2012, belonging to Rei Gonzalez, Harold
Little, Ali Machinchy, Pablo Fernandez, and BV. Shown
below are:

| Pablo Fernandez |
Ali Machinchy
Horizon's David Payne showed their new mini MiG |
Note: Pablo and Ali orchestrated a
very impressive formation routine with these (2) EVF ~3~
12S powered "Parade" scheme MiG's. These red jets
show up well against any sky condition. |
| |
|
|
 |
Rei Gonzalez is a
real BVM electric jet enthusiast. Besides an E
MiG-15 and an E-Bandit, Rei built and painted this
fabulous BVM Phantom that has twin EVF ~3~ 12S
thrusters. |
| |
|
| Under wing external
stores and opening canopies, along with excellent skin
details will score well at Top Gun 2012. |
 |
| |
|
 |
Lot's of power allows
the F-4 to operate from the turf field. |
| |
|
| Following the tank
drop maneuver, the Phantom wizzes by on a high speed
pass. |
 |
| |
|
 |
Here's Rei, BV, and
Tommy Wood with the pair of BVM F-4's that won "Best
Electric Jet" and "Best Electric Jet Performance" awards
at Florida Jets. |
| |
|
| BVM Bandits and Ultra
Bandits were also very popular at Florida Jets 2012. |
| BV challenged the
wind several times with this "All Electric" E-Bandit.
The EVF ~3~ 12S provides 165mph passes and excellent
vertical maneuvers. Energy management is the key
to a 7 minute aerobatic flight profile. Deduct 1
minute for grassfield operations. |
 |
| |
|
 |
Mark Woodland, Nick Smith, and
Tony Stevens exercised this Bandit multiple times while
also assisting Larry Kramer and his collection of BVM
jets. |
| |
| Cesar Quero traveled from
Venezuela to enjoy Florida Jets with this Bandit ARF.
Many successful flights. |
 |
| |
|
 |
This Red/White/Blue #3 scheme
Ultra Bandit is proudly displayed by Andrew Bird.
Many flights logged at Florida Jets. |
| |
| Ritchie Holt's "Ultra" (one of his
two Ultra Bandit's) is about to lift off from the turf
runway at Paradise Field. |
 |
| |
|
 |
This "Ultra" sports the
"Lemans"
scheme with the standard fin option. Jordon Factor
provides the skillful guidance. |
| |
|
| The BVM demo "Ultra" now has the
single seat option and was guest flown by Polo Ruiz with
Dustin assisting. The flight characteristics seem
unchanged from the original 2 seat version. |
 |
| |
|
 |
Rich Curry requested
a special extra brilliant orange when we built his Ultra
Bandit. BVM obliged, acquired the paint and
adapted it to our paint-in-the-mold process. All
are pleased with the results. This Ultra Bandit is
powered by Jet Central Mammoth. |
| |
|
| Venezuela's Jack Diaz stores his
F-100 and 80" F-86 at BVM, so when he visits events like
Florida Jets and Top Gun, he dusts them off, performs
extensive system checks and flies them many times each
day. Son Gerardo traveled from California to share
the stick time. |
 |
 |

|
 |
 |
| Two views of a
jet parking area in front of the BVM pavilion.
These scale jets were easy to access, fuel, charge, etc.
and then cart to the flight line. |
| |
|
 |
The new Skymaster F9-F Cougar
debuted at Florida Jets 2012 and won the "Best Scale Jet
Performance" award. Dustin really likes flying
this JetCat P-180RX powered scale jet. BVM has a
supplementary instruction and parts package that
compliments the Skymaster product. A strong point
of the Skymaster jets is their rugged landing gear and
we proved it on the less than perfect turf field. |
| |
| There were numerous
Skymaster Hawks at the event and they also did well on
the grass. Pablo makes this one shine in the air
with Jet Central "Rhino" power. |
 |
| |
|
 |
Vernon Montgomery's stable
includes this Skymaster F-86 and BVM F-100. |
| |
|
| BobCats and KingCats are always
present at jet events. Darren French from the UK
enjoyed his at Florida Jets. |
 |
| |
|
 |
There are several
paint schemes available for BobCats. This
Orange/Yellow/Blue was also Rick Chase's preference.
Rick enjoys his P-80 powered BobCat usually at the
Markham Park Field in Fort Lauderdale, Fl. |
| |
|
| Greg Foushi's Skymaster
A-10 presents well as a large twin turbine scale jet.
The JetCat P-80SE's have been absolutely reliable. |
 |
| |
|
|
 |
| Greg Wright traveled
from Naperville, Indiana to help BVM prepare for FL Jets
and fly his F-100. The Skyblazer scheme and Flite
Metal finish were brilliant against the Florida sky.
Greg flame treated .005" Titanium skins and applied them
to the aft fuse for an absolutely authentic F-100 "Hot
Section". This hun is powered by a JetCat
P-160 and logged
many flights at the event. |

Hi Patty
This is my
Skymaster Hawk, which I flew in Florida Jets, with
turbine Jet Cat 160 SX and Radio Jr 12X. It is an
excellent model.

| By far, the most
professional display at Florida Jets 2012 was by BVM.
These photos are testimony of our commitment to the
event and our customers. Thanks to our employees
and friends who make all of this happen.
