ABOUT BVM
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 45-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 fifteen different jets in the U.S.A. and distributes a few high quality imports, for turbine and Electric VioFan power. As a primary U.S.A. dealer for the superb JetCat line of engines, we offer six different power class units from 13 pounds up to 45 pounds of thrust. And, our knowledgeable staff of jet builders and pilots can help you decide which engine and accessories are best for your BVM model.
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. In many cases these critical parts are of BVM design and manufacture because we know that jets require the strongest linkages, hinges, latches, landing gear mounts, etc. When you compare completeness, quality and performance, you’ll discover that BVM jets are truly an outstanding value.
