Chris Setting has been a
Bandit enthusiast for a long time. His latest is this Navy Hi-Viz ARF. |
| |
|
| When Dave Fusinato wasn't
helping out as the "Show Announcer", he flew this vintage BVM Viper with EVF
power and a Bobcat XL. |
 |
| |
|
 |
Much larger Skymaster
Viper Jets were popular at Fresno. Jeff Tolomeo assisted Dave Magoo
with the first trim flight on the Canadian scheme sample
(a factory scheme). |
| |
|
| Matt Carroll likes JetCat
products as this Bobcat paint scheme reflects. Matt's craftsmanship
and flying skills are meticulous. |
 |
| |
|
 |
Fresno was family
friendly. The Clark kids, Katie and Josh were having a great time
while daddy Ad Jr. flew his Bobcat and Classic Bandit, Jenny Clark
smilingly
approves. |
| |
|
| BVM is very fortunate to
have Reps like Kent Nogy to support our California customers. His
showmanship with his "Ultra" is exemplary. |
 |
| |
|
 |
"Pilots Choice" was
appropriately awarded to Jeff Tolomeo and his Skymaster F-16. A nice
touch was an afterburner light system from
Dreamworks. |
| |
|
| Joe Castelao has been a
Kingcat fan from the beginning. His latest White/Yellow/Red (BVM #7)
scheme with JetCat power is serving him well. |
 |
| |
|
 |
Chris Dellinger enjoys
flying his BVM F-4 in Edwards A.F.B. Chase Plane livery when he is not
piloting a
Boeing 747. |
| |
|
| This properly proportioned
dark/light scheme on Nick Robinson's Super Bandit is very visible against
blue or cloudy skies. It is a well executed machine. |
 |
| |
|
 |
Dan Avilla got the first
Bandit ARF's in this Yellow/Red/Black scheme, it has since been challenging
to keep them in stock. |
| |
|
| Matt West applied the
Diamond Back scheme to an Electra and enjoys its performance on 10s power. |
 |
| |
|
 |
Paul and Wendy Bageman are
quite a team who support jet flying in Southern California. Paul flew
F-14's in the Navy prior to his airline pilot career and thoroughly enjoys
applying his skills to model jets like this Blue Angle BVM F-4. He
Reps for JR and BVM. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| The father/son team of Dan
and Chad Avilla logged many sorties at Fresno on machines like this Bobcat
XL and a superb Shooting Star that won the "Best Scale Flight" award. |
| |
|
The Electic VioFans
demonstrated their worthiness in the 100°F weather in these Electra's and
Fury. L-R are Matt West, Mark Taylor, Paul Bageman, and
Bob Violett. |
 |
| |
|
 |
Mark Taylor, Matt West,
and the Fresno Radio Modelers R/C Club produced this most enjoyable event.
All who attended wish to express our thanks. |

Mr. Violett,
Please find attached a picture of you with my son Jake. I thought you might
like having a copy. Jake has heard of the legend of Bob Violett and was very
excited to have a chance to share some sky with you and the picture is just
the icing on the cake! It was a highlight of the event for him and he could
not wait to get home and tell his mom all about it.
Thanks again for taking the
time to pose for the picture and for saying some words of encouragement to
him.
Best Regards,
Dave Bottita
This was definitely one of those "Kodak"
moments. Thanks Dave for sharing this with us.
B.V.
