BVM welcomes Darryl Tarr to
our
prestigious team of field reps.
Growing
up in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) during the 60's and 70's was tough at times as
the country was under international sanctions and a civil war. As enthusiastic
aeromodelers we would build our own chuck gliders, control line, and radio control
airplanes largely from scratch.
At the age
of fourteen I placed first in the Rhodesian National Model Aircraft Championships
for FAI Combat Junior, and third place for FAI Combat Open.
My introduction
to BVM models was in 1994 when I built the F-16 with a BVM VioFan unit and BVM
91R. My selection in BVM products came about after many previous unsuccessful
and frustrating attempts with ducted fan models from other manufactures.
I have never
looked back when it comes to BVM's superior quality and performance. No other
ducted fan model could cope with the high altitudes, low atmospheric pressures,
and high ambient temperatures that are typically associated with Southern Africa
weather. I actually still have this model today and continue to fly it several
times a year.
I am currently
living and working in the Middle East (Dubai), where I am an Airline Pilot (Boeing
777 Captain) for Emirates Airline.
To me BVM
is the pinnacle of modeling products and manufacturing techniques. Besides,
there is no substitute for experience. Today I continue to build and fly several
BVM turbine powered models.
It is a great
honor and privilege to be part of BVM's Field Representative Team.
We welcome Darryl
Tarr to our list of in-the-field representatives. Darryl's experience, enthusiasm,
and eagerness to help aspiring jet modelers makes him uniquely qualified.
"First Flight Success"

reps for help.
