The 63" Sabre / Fury ARF's are gaining
favor again with both turbine and EVF
enthusiasts. Adding Gyros to the rudder
and ailerons of this swept wing legacy
fighter make it fly and land so smooth
and easy that it acts like a much larger
model. That's what gyro assist does,
and it makes the pilot look good too!
Note: The fullsize CAD drawings that
come with the Sabre / Fury show the
location of the rudder gyro. Use the
photos below to locate the aileron gyro.

For Turbine Power |
Small turbines in the 14 - 17 # thrust
range work best for the Sabre / Fury.
The BVM Kevlar Fuel Tank (1.75 liter)
provides a 9 minute flight. |
|
|
The carbon fiber engine Bypass and the
double walled stainless steel tailpipe
assure a cool running and safe
installation. There is no wasted thrust
in this or any BVM engineered power
plant installation. The JetCat P-60SE, and the KingTeck
K60 are all excellent turbine power
choices. Your turbine powered Sabre can
have pneumatic retracts & doors or can
be equipped with BVM's all electric
retracts, doors & brakes.

All Electric Sabre / Fury
The electric power just keeps getting
better primarily because of improving
LiPo battery technology, and, BVM keeps
fine tuning the motor / ESC capability.
An EVF 10S powered Sabre is very
efficient and adequate power for most
enthusiasts. An EVF 12S powered system
rivals the performance of a turbine
powered Sabre / Fury with 6-7 minute
high performance flight times.
We have a lot of fun at jet events
challenging turbine powered models with
an EVF 12S powered Sabre.

These beautifully crafted ARFs with
full size plans and a 72 page manual
with all options described, makes the
BVM 63" ARF Sabre / Fury a very
satisfying scale jet adventure. |

Setting The
Gyro Gains
It is best
to set the Gyro Gain rates according to
the 3 wing flap positions. The BVM demo
model uses the following percentages
with a mix of the flap SW to AUX 2 on a
JR 12X radio. Use the "Gyro Sens"
Program.
