Dear Bob & Dustin,

I wanted to send you a note about my new Skymaster A-10 Thunderbolt II. 

My new A-10 is truly an awesome jet!!   It has such a great airframe it does everything well.  Flies fast and yet can fly very slowly with “NO” bad tendencies.

The A-10 has amazing detail and excellent scale features and appearance.  The landing gear is some of the best I’ve ever seen in the industry.

I’d like to thank Dustin for his thorough check of the jet and being an excellent test pilot.  I will elaborate in a bit.  He gave me some great tips on setting-up my first twin turbine.  I really appreciated his time of reviewing all the safety concerns and procedure with operating a twin turbine safely.

As everybody knows the first flight with any new jet is exciting and the A-10 was no different.  Dustin took the A-10 off and trimmed things up and put the jet through its paces for about 6 min.  Dustin decided to drop the gear for a gear pass and the worst case scenario the left main gear was hung up.  He put some positive and negative “G’s” on the gear trying to free the gear and cycled it as well but to no avail. 

So, Dustin asked me if he could “Touch” it.  I knew what he was asking and I said go for it.  Later, I thought to myself did I just tell him to go for with a 50+ pound jet he has never landed before on this paved runway.  I know Dustin’s is a good pilot but this maneuver would separate the boys from the men. 

Dustin made a great low angle approach touched the right main on the hard deck and the left popped out and went around the pattern and came back and landed the A-10 without a scratch.  It was very impressive with a jet he had never flown before.  I myself and 40 other club members had an opportunity to witness a true master at his craft….  

I just wanted to say thanks to you and the entire BVM Team for making my first twin turbine jet experience truly a great one. 

Best Regards,
Greg Foushi

  This is my beautiful Skymaster F-16, it has a working chute system, smoke system, nav lights, and landing lights.
  Thank you very much for the support.

T-45 Goshawk and Rhino
A great combo of airframe and engine

   Since we took on the Jet Central product line, we have been busy developing accessories that ease the installation of Jet Central engines into Skymaster and BVM jets.  Dustin is all smiles about how the Rhino drives the Hawk with very convincing authority.  A couple of flights at R.C.A.C.F. on 20 Jan 2011 validated the installation as shown below.

BVM Carbon Fiber Adapter Plates to mount the Rhino are available.

 Mako 2010

  The JetCat Titan powered Skymaster F-16 has been flown at many jet events by many guest pilots.  This time it was Pablo's turn, and as usual, Pablo makes a product look good.  This F-16 operates with just 6 channels of control and no mixing.  High alpha maneuvers are most impressive just as with the full size Falcon.


Top Gun 2010

   The highest scoring jet in Pro Am was this Skymaster T-45 Goshhawk expertly flown by Dustin.

   Note:  The jets were penalized one percent of the fight score and the tail draggers received a 1/2 % bonus.  This has been done at Top Gun for a few years to keep the jets from sweeping all of the trophies.  It worked!

   BVM enjoys participating regardless of the rule adjustments.  We have won all of the categories from time to time and Mr. Top Gun twice.



Richard Curry with his Skymaster Hawk 100

   

     This past weekend I test flew Richard Curry's Hawk 100.  After a few setup changes and tweaks we had this model flying on rails! 
  Richard powered this Hawk with a JetCat P-160 SX, the engine performed flawless and had plenty of power for vertical maneuvers. The
  landing gear is simply amazing, soaking up the bumps of the grass runway. Together we must have put a dozen flights on this plane with zero
  maintenance required.

 On November 14th 2010, Greg Foushi earned his AMA Turbine waiver with this Viper Jet 2m. I had the honors of performing the test flight, then the second flight was all Greg’s.  Greg powered this fine model with a JetCat P-80 SE converted to Kero start.  Greg reports that the aircraft flies great and is easy to land. Furthermore, the Viper Jet 2m is Greg’s first jet, I am sure it won’t be his last!

Congrats Greg from everyone at BVM and Skymaster!

 The more I fly my Viper the more I love it!  just incredible!  Unfortunately one of the plastic hinges for the mains doors broke
  so I will be replacing them with the new metal hinge from BVM.

 Enjoy,

 Gonzalo
