LA Jets 2013
by: Bob Violett
The
Sepulveda Basin Model Flying site in Van
Nuys, California has served R/C flyers since
the 70's. From the early days of
formula I pylon racing to today's jets,
Southern California modelers have been able
to enjoy their sport at this beautiful paved
facility now titled Apollo XI Flying Field.
On 10 November there was a gathering of BVM Jets and pilots for this
year's LA Jets event. Ken Simmons, Greg Fullington, Roger Ko, and Steve Dimaio sent
along some photos and comments on the
occasion. |

This BVM 63" Sabre ARF in the Japanese "Blue Impulse"
scheme was fielded by Roger Ko. First flight honors went to Steve
Dimaio. This KingTech K-60g powered Sabre drew lots of positive
comments. Steve said "The Sabre Stole The Show". Six perfect flights
and landings. See BVM New Rep Steve Dimaio -

This "Fly Navy" scheme is

KingCat in the California sky. |
