The BVM Staff.

Established in 1981, BVM has emerged as the world leader in the design, development and manufacture of radio controlled jet model airplanes. Founder and president, Bob Violett, a former U.S. Navy Jet Carrier pilot, commercial airline pilot and 35-year veteran of radio controlled flying, has drawn on this knowledge and experience to develop the unparalleled BVM jet kits and accessory product lines.

A trademark of a BVM kit is the extensive assembly and operations instruction package. Full size C.A.D. drawings with detailed text and photos take the guesswork out of the construction and operation. Even the power system installation is detailed for you.

BVM manufactures a dozen different jets, some for ducted fan or turbine power and some exclusively for turbine power.

For the ducted fan enthusiast, our patented Viojett and VIOFAN with BVM engines of .91 and .96 cubic inch displacements are the most efficient ducted fan systems available.

You can purchase a JetCat or AMT USA engine from BVM and get the added value of assistance and training from our knowledgeable staff of flyers who have each logged hundreds of turbine flights.

BVM jets are uniquely designed to ensure your success. Kits are produced using state-of-the-art technology and materials. These strong, lightweight airframes are capable of achieving the maximum performance for each model’s classification, be it sport or scale. Kevlar, carbon fiber, end-grain balsa laminates, woven carbon cloth and other composite materials are carefully chosen and integrated into the design.

Additionally, all hardware needed to complete your jet is provided. Over the years, through thousands of flights, BVM has found that in many cases, store-bought hardware simply won’t hold up to the rigors of high performance jet flying. So, BVM designed its own. That’s why you’ll find little things like couplers made of stainless steel (brass ones broke) and hatch mechanisms made of carbon fiber (regular plastic cracked). When you compare completeness, quality and performance, you’ll discover that BVM jets are truly an outstanding value.

Whether you are a seasoned jet pilot, one who yearns to be, or just need some good accessories to assist in your other modeling interests, we hope you will find this catalog helpful.
