Patty Merry Christmas and Happy New Year This is Raul's sponsored KingCat Raul's KingCat, as is BVM's demo, are powered by the JetCentral 31 Lb. thrust Cheetah. It's an excellent plane/engine combination. BVM's demo KingCat does not use a F.O.D. screen. We have not found it to be necessary.

Igor Carballal Dear Patty, I just maiden my KingCat this Saturday. More than 6 flights on the maiden day. I am using a 12X radio on 2.4 Ghz and a JetCat P-160 SX. The best plane that I ever flew, congratulations for you guys at BVM Jets! Best Regards
From: George Walker Bob, I just wanted you to know how helpful Dan Avilla was last week. Skeet Hunt and I had two BVM birds that we needed help with first trim flights. Skeet's was a Bandit he recently purchased and mine was a new KingCat. We were guests at Dan's home and he spent two days helping us set them up and doing the first trim flights. Both Skeet and I really appreciated his time and hospitality. George click here to see Skeet Hunts Bandit

From: Zenon Pierides To BVM, I purchased the BVM King Cat from you at 2004. We are still flying and enjoying it with my friend and builder Zenon on the left of the picture who is also an old client of yours. We took these nice professional pictures with smoke on September 11th, 2010 and we thought it would be nice to share them with you and also remember 9/11. The set up is a JetCat P160SX with jet Cat Smoke Pump, all jr radio and servos!! Happy Landings,
From: leopoldo ruiz Patty: Just wanted to share with you that I made the maiden on the Kingcat last Saturday. I put on 3 flights and 2 more yesterday. Everything worked perfectly, just as I expected. I am using a 12X radio on 2.4 Ghz and a Jet Central Rhino engine, that puts more than the power needed even though we fly at 8000 ft. above the sea level. I am enclosing a couple of pictures, also notice that I am not alone anymore flying jets at my field, Juan Pablo is having a lot of fun with his turbine Electra. Thanks a lot for all the BVM support. Best Regards,
From: Lasse Palm Hi Patty! Regards

Jamie Snipes Dear Bob, Patty, Dustin, and the rest of the BVM Gang, I have recently gotten my new Kingcat in the air and couldn’t be more pleased with the performance! I am powering this one with the new Jetcat P160SX, and am using a JR 12X with a JR 1222 receiver for guidance. My previous Kingcat was a “Gen 1” and I didn’t think an airframe could have a wider flight envelope until now. You have up’d the bar once again with the larger strake … the slow speed handling and stability are amazing! I am also using the newly offered trailing link gear for grass ops with great success. Your attention to detail and continuous improvement to already excellent products are well appreciated. I would like to thank Dustin and Patty for the excellent technical and product support during my building process. I plan to apply a custom finish over the winter along with adding lighting to the airframe. I’ll send updated pics when finished, but have attached photos from this past weekend until then. I look forward to many fun flights ahead! Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing the BVM gang at a jet event in the near future.

Paul Gourgue has been flying D/F and jet models in France for 25 years. He is very fond of his KingCat with JetCat P-120 power. His comments include: "It is a very professional kit that flies quite well and has a wide envelop of speed from very slow to very fast." Paul's grass field appears to be vast and uncluttered.

Dear Patty,
Finally yesterday I maiden my KingCat...and it was awesome. I'm of those guys who like to spend time enjoying the building process...and doing modifications in order to "improve" is also one of my diseases to provide the plane with a "personal touch". Well...this jet is personal. It comes that way....and a really had good time following your extremely well made manual that for my taste shows the respect you guys have for your customers. Thanks for your patience and kind attention during my calls and give my regards and congratulations to your father. Take care,

Hi Bob, we test flew Omar AlGahanim's
KingCat powered by a JetCat Titan today. Another happy
customer!. Here is pictured Omar's cousin, myself, Omar and

We have a few more first flights planned for this season of
flying.

Steve Harpole of Union City, Tennessee visiting central Florida to get the initial test flights accomplished on his KingCat. This is Steve's first jet and he chose to power it with a JetCat P-120 and he's obviously gotten the "bug" as his hangar now includes a red/yellow KingCat and the latest project is a Bandit ARF.

Larry Noble of San Diego, California is proud of his custom finished "Miss America" KingCat. Larry is using a JR10X radio with a JetCat P-120 for power and has added the clear canopy and detailed the cockpit area. He notes that it needed no trim during the test flight and Larry is very pleased with the product.
Kevin Barr and Don Luce of Minnesota are enjoying their KingCat's with JetCat Titan power. They say the Titan is a great match for the KingCat and are looking forward to logging many flights on their BVM jets.
Don Winn finished his first BVM Jet - a new
white KingCat in just under 3 weeks. Don's KingCat is powered by an AMT AT-280
and guided by a JR radio. BVM Rep Tim Redelman assisted in making sure Don was
all set to go with his initial flights and Don's remarks about the aircraft
were "This is the best jet I have ever built, every part was in the kit
from screws to clevises, and the flying qualities are the best I have ever seen!"
Alan Thomas finished his KingCat with a personal touch using pink and purple over the white base. Alan is from Australia and says (quote) "The KingCat is a superb model, the more I fly it the more I like it."
Darryl Tarr of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates is no stranger to owning a BVM jet and his latest aircraft is this orange/blue KingCat with JetCat P-160 power. Darryl's KingCat is geared up with a JR10X radio and Duralite Batteries so he can get many flights before recharging. Darryl flew his new bird recently and expressed complete satisfaction with it. Some flying field there!
Dan Johnson of St. George, Utah finished his basic white KingCat in this patriotic color scheme. A JetCat P-120 is used for power and Dan had some custom airbrush work done on the wings that really make this one stand out!

BVM Rep Harley Condra is enjoying his red, white and blue KingCat with a JetCat P-120 for power and a Tamjets smoke system with the Duralite "Jet Pack" battery system. Harley says the "Crow" in the flight control program is on a flight mode, which keeps the pilot workload down, and the added sink rate really helps the landings.
Joe Grice did it again, this time he Flite-Metal'd an entire KingCat complete with rivets and used Pro-Mark markings and nomenclature. Joe installed an AMT USA AT-400 for plenty of vertical performance.
Here are a couple KingCat's from San Diego. As Paul Bageman once said, "a pair of Kings is better than a pair of Queens anyday" - quote reference is to flying all afternoon instead of doing the house chores. Paul and Buck Garza are having a blast with them and typically put in 5-7 flights a piece each time they go out. Bags has in excess of 70 flights on his but Buck is gaining rapidly. They're both using the Duralite KingCat pack and lovin' every minute of it.
