If you
have been following our website, you surely know how
enthusiastic we are about electric jets. Of course,
that enthusiasm is reflected in the many new “E”
products that BVM offers to constantly advance this
sector of our hobby. Electric jets require less
support equipment and are therefore easier to load
in your vehicle, unload quickly at the field, and
quick to get into the air. This ease of operation
allows us to get to the field more often and log
more flights per outing. Maintaining pilot
proficiency is a more serious challenge for us
senior jet pilots. These EVF powered jets and the
Florida weather allow me to get to the field usually
twice a week. As a result, my level of proficiency
is at least as good as it was 10 years ago. It
is kind of like going to the gym.
Flying
high performance E-Jets also contributes to one’s
ability to safely fly turbine powered jets, and that
is an added value. Seven minutes at 160+ mph speed
definitely qualifies as a jet training sortie. |

The Explorer
Van is always ready for an E-Jet
flying session. |
Besides the proficiency value, E-Jets are a
lot of fun and absent of fuel spills or stink in
your vehicle for the ride home. The back of my
Explorer Van stays loaded as you see it, so I
can go flying with short notice. The Electra on
top of the custom made foam stand and the
E-Bandit now have all electric retracts and
brakes, eliminating the need for an air pump or
spending time chasing down air leaks. I usually
carry 2 sets of LiPo power batteries. The
plastic tub of PowerLab 6 charging equipment
allows almost non-stop flying if you plan to
make a day of it.
