An all Electric Jet
Almost Ready To Fly.
Completely and Professionally Painted
|
The BVM Electra jet "kit" lead the way. Its size and performance have
revolutionized the state-of-the-art for an all electric jet model. The Electra jet "ARF" has all the same performance and mechanical features of
the kit version, but with 90% of the labor to build and finish accomplished for
you. Its all composite, painted-in-the-mold airframe is strong and light. With
the BVM Electric VioFan, it is flight worthy at speeds exceeding 200mph, but
stable slow flight and easy landings are where the Electra Jet really shines.
Let’s take a closer look at why you may consider owning this very special ARF
jet.

BVM has always believed
in showing you first hand just how our products perform. Many BVM
Reps are flying Electra's at model events, so you may get to see one
soon.
Then, you be the judge. You can also see
video on our website.

Components
The airframe structure is a combined effort of BVM’s USA based
tooling and internal parts manufacturing and our Thailand
counterpart’s laminating, painting, and finishing capabilities.
Every Electra ARF is quality controlled at our Florida facility
and then repackaged with BVM hardware, plans, and absolutely
complete instructions.
A crystal clear canopy, molded cockpit deck and instrument panel
are standard.
Some assembly of internal parts required.

 |
|
Access is Important Even though the power and guidance components are minimum in this "all
electric" jet, easy access to them is a convenient feature of your Electra.
|
Strong & Light Undercarriage
Hundreds of landings without a glitch
 |
 |
 |
The mechanical retract
operation is smooth and reliable using 2 JR 791 retract servos.
The injection molded Carbon Fiber retract frames and
all aluminum machined internal parts provide superior strength.
BVM’s heavy duty 3/16" main wire struts with precision axles and
Du-Bro wheels complete the landing gear package. |

|
Professionally Designed - Professionally Manufactured
The EVF (Electric VioFan) comes to you completely assembled and
factory test run.
Available for 10 to 16 cell operation. |
It’s just right for a one person operation. |
|
 |
The Convenience
|
The Electra Jet ARF will
fit into most SUV’s with the wings attached. Of course, the plug-in
wings and stabs are easily removed for more compact transport and
storage.
And, if air travel allows you to enjoy
attending certain important events, the Electra ARF can be safely
transported in the BVM Jet Case. |
The Benefits
|
l Zero throttle lag and zero
residual thrust; makes landing an electric jet easier than a
turbine jet, especially in a crosswind.
l No turbine waiver needed.
l Minimum support equipment
necessary - bring spare batteries and a charger for more
flights.
l No vibration to wear components
out.
l No liquid fuel to saturate the
inside of your model.
l Low heat environment.
l Very difficult to damage the
motor, low cost motor repair or replacement.
l 150+mph performance.

The Electra Jet is big (60" wingspan) for an
electric powered sport jet, but still compact enough to fit into many
midsize SUV's like Bob Fiorenzi's Mazda Tribute. Shown here
with the wing and tail covers removed, it rests on a foam padded box
and there is still space available for spare batteries, chargers,
and a cooler.
