Dustin Buescher won the New Scale X Class with the brand new BVM PNP F-16 1:5 scale jet. It is powered with a KingTech K210G and guided by a Spektrum 18X of course.  Very high flight scores and an accurate outline match to the 3 views clinched it.

  The new X Class has inspired a lot of interest. See FrankTiano.com for rules.

  Jason Bauer was 2nd in the X Class with this BVM F-16 1:6 scale. This model has logged hundreds of flights and still works perfectly. Tim Len is the "caller". This Texas A.N.G. scheme is particularly attractive and visible.

  Gabriel Pelligrini from Brazil taxis out for another blistering fast flight in the Unlimited Class with his BVM F-100.

 The Master's Class winner was Bob Violett with this seasoned F-80 Shooting Star with EVF ~3~ 12S power. 2016 was the last year for this model designer/builder class reflecting the changes in our sport.

  The Team Scale event was handily won by another BVM EVF 12S powered jet. This MiG-15 was crafted by Mike Grady and flown by Dustin. Mike's superb craftsmanship and previous Top Gun experience was rewarded with the "High Static" trophy.

  Boli Muentes has been flying this BVM 1/6th Scale F-16 for over a year and it shows. He won 3rd place in the Pro-Jet Category. Boli justly credits his caller Tom Smith with his success. Callers can really contribute to the pilots situation awareness, maneuver placement, and landing line up, especially with some crosswind which we always have to deal with.

  The L-39 Albatros is a new PNP offering by BVM. We had just 3 trim flights on it prior to the event, but that was all we needed to make it flight worthy and presentable. Our perseverance was rewarded with 4th place in the very competitive event. This straight wing, 140 Newton powered jet has many factory installed features that will appeal to PNP customers.

  Tim Len contributed to the participation of BVM PNP Jets at Top Gun. Tim's Cougar is a seasoned model with many successes to its record.

  Jose Martin enlisted the expert building services of Tommy Woods to get his E Bandit with EVF ~3~ 12S power ready for flight. The first flight was accomplished after the competition was complete on Thursday. It was perfect. The winglets are a special Tommy touch.

  Rod Snyder is an excellent craftsman and pilot as demonstrated at Top Gun with this brilliant BVM F-100 that he flew in the Pro-Jet Category.

  Jim Safie from San Salvador, El Salvador posted some good flight scores with his BVM F-16 to earn 5th place in the Pro-Am Sportsman Class.
