 
Keith Sievers sent along a few photos of the
first flying session with his Ultra Bandit. His comments are:
"It was the best flying model off the bench
that I have ever built. I am looking forward to more stick time!
Thanks again, Keith."

We call this scheme "Navy
Trainer". It was Keith's concept for a very visible model.
And why not? It works for the Navy.

Bob,
To let you know, I
test flew the Ultra and am very happy. No surprises and was
comfortable like an old friend after the first trim pass. Has the
JetCat P180. Just played the first flight checking out visual
orientation and slow speed characteristics. It's BIG, easy to see
for old man eyes and slow speed is just what I hoped for...SLOW and
stable. It will be rung out over the next few days. Thanks for
another great design. It is a happy addition to the other winner
BVM planes in the Montgomery stable.
Long time Customer
and Friend,
Vernon Montgomery

Ron Long, from Scottsdale,
Arizona, now owns and flies one of the very first Ultra Bandits. It
was built and painted by Terry Nitsch and won Best Jet and Finish
awards at Toledo '06. Seen here at the Phoenix Desert Storm.

Hi Bob, I thought I would let you know
that I'm having fun with the Ultra Bandit here in Dubai.
This is one that was custom built for Ali at Als Hobbies in
the UK. Thanks Bob for a great performing aircraft! Also, thanks
to Ali for his support.

Simon To (Hong Kong) is very
pleased with his Ultra Bandit. The paints were provided by
Lamborghini cars with their pearl affect. Simon has a
straight fin on order and will compare flight characteristics of
both.

Hi Patty, how are you, I feel great. I want you to
please tell your father, that this is the best of the best of any other
aircraft I ever flown. It makes me feel like a great pilot, because it fly's
so well, and so easy, and with the combination of engine I have , this is
FANTASTIC, all the power you want any time.Well , I did 3 flights on
Sunday, 11 minutes each one, and I have the hopper tank completely full, I
tell you, 11 minutes is a lot of time with such a nice flying machine.
Any way, thank you very much to all of you at BVM, but a very special
mention to Mr. SuperDesignModelJets, Bob Violett.
Best Regards,
Jacobo Sevilla

 Ali Machinchy of Al's Hobbies in England owns this orange, white, and blue Ultra Bandit that is powered by an AMT Netherlands Olympus HP engine. Look for it at many of the jet events throughout Europe as Ali attends many events throughout the year.
