“BVM provides World Class Model Aircraft 2nd to NONE!” commented by Randal Ott.

This BVM F-18 5.5 scale is powered by a KingTech 320G4. Randy is also a very proud owner of a BVM 1/6 F-16 and a BVM F9F Cougar. He is also eagerly waiting for his new 1/5 F-16 to add to his collection.

Patty,

Recently I had the opportunity to attend a community event for a local STEM program with my flying club. It was for the Southern Maryland Jr. College STEM program. It is a youth outreach program that involves local schools and get them interested and exposed to a wide variety of science and tech programs.


On display was the 1/5th scale F-18 Blue Angels and IT WAS A HIT! We had flight simulators and was able to sign up 9 families to AMA and our club. There was a huge interest from the Southern Maryland ROTC as well. I’m scheduled to do a talk and demo with their group coming up as well.

Take care and be safe.

Hi Patty!

We had a great show for the Wings over Homestead 2023 air show!

Lots of great photos were taken of the F-18 and many people asked questions about the model.

The pilots especially enjoyed seeing it fly :)

Greg wanted Jenni and Addi in the picture since without Jenni’s support Greg certainly would not be doing this! And Addi, well she is in the picture since she is always with them at events and when flying!
