ABOUT BVM
    Established in 1981, BVM has emerged as a 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. Detailed text and photos take the guesswork out of the construction, equipment installation and operation.
    BVM manufactures fifteen different jets in the U.S.A. for turbine and Electric VioFan power.  Additionally, BVM is the primary distributor for Skymaster/Xtreme jet products that have earned a great reputation for quality.  To power all of these jets, BVM offers six different power ranges of turbine engines and 2 power choices for the EVF.  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 the BVM sponsored products are truly outstanding values.  Most importantly, when you are a BVM customer, you will get the help you need to be successful.
