Subject: Best of both worlds

Patty,
Great toys F16 1/5 with Jetsmunt 250 and F18 with Swiwin 190. Robby, Marvin and the rest of your team are amazing, that is why I buy BVM. Superior leadership, of course, Patty.


My hardest decision is picking which one to put in the car to go play with.

Patty and Heather,

I was able to get the first flights on my BVM F-18 before the end of the year and it is incredible. It is powered by a BadboyzRC Swiwin 190 and guided by a Futaba T18SZ and Advanced Radio Smooth Flight 16.

Patty,

I was able to maiden the F-18 today. It went perfectly! I love the jet!

Another home run by BVM jets. IX20SE guidance, and propelled by a Swiwin 190. Thank you again for everything!

Hi Patty,

I wanted to send along a picture of my 1:7 F-18. You guys did an amazing job on this plane! Hats off to Rob and the BVM team for all the assistance with the maiden at Jets Over Kentucky. I have several flights on it now and it flies amazing. It’s powered by Swiwin 170 with Cortex Pro onboard along with Spektrum IX20 for guidance. Looking forward to my next BVM jet!

 

Thanks,

Brandon Rust

Hello Patty,

I wanted to send you a photo of my second BVM model. This F-18 1:7.75 scale follows the same great lineage as my 5 year old BVM Cougar. This Hornet is powered with a King Tech K160 G2 and uses a DX 20 for guidance. Also a Demon Cortex Pro on board for the windy days. The Hornet flies faster and maneuvers quicker than the Cougar, but in the end they are both unbeatable models for any day flying and easy for one person to handle. It is the perfect hanger mate for my BVM Cougar.

Thanks again for all the great help the BVM staff is famous for.

Hi Rob, Heather and Patty,

Here are some pictures of my BVM F-18 1:7.75 Scale PNP this past weekend at MN Jets. This is a great flying model that draws a lot of comments when people get to see it. Thank you for all the continued support providing high quality models and great customer service!

Thanks,
Mike Danielson
