bvm f-100
i have been flying over 25 years and have flown 30 lb f4us wacos, p-47s and helis. ive been told the bvm f 100 is a great stable jet and can be flown by someone who has no jet experience. i am a practicing chemist so I understand assy saftey and common sense. ive seen vids where due to the le slats and te flaps she lands slow. even saw a dead stick.
I understand setting up a turbine is the difficult part however i can read and follow schematics. any responses? im 47 have good reflexes and fly lots of twin warbirds so fast im used to

RE: bvm f-100
not to start a war or anything just a comment. flying is really no different if you are highly experienced fly proper patterns, and know when to fly the only difference is the turbine. I know they are a piece of wonderful workmanship but its not a godly thing. Ive seen a vid of guys with the money and they crash! WHY/ NO ANTENNA UP ON TX. with spektrum and flite metal and sierra retacts this would be beautiful. i would be very careful on first few flights. I fly off private land by myself so no problems. I talked to many who say it has a large speed envelope. but is stable and lands slow 40ish.
its that or a wingspan b-17 but mike raised his priced drastically and the f-100 is composite

RE: bvm f-100
If you need any info on the F-100, I would recommend giving the shop a call. I can get you all the specifics on servos and such. Ask for Dustin. Take a look at http://www.bvmjets.com/Pages/kits/f-100%20site.htm
Thanks
Thanks

I'm not sure that's a good idea, you need to call the fine folks at BVMjets.com and explain your situation. Dustin who has just answered above has already said you can ask for him. I don't read the warbird forum, but there are very few people over in this forum who can take a guy walking in saying his first jet is going to be a BVM Hun. Mostly because, to my knowledge, that's never been done before. Which means you are effectively saying that you are a better pilot and builder than the thousand guys that have their turbine waiver.
It's a free country, but not many people are going to help somebody lose a 20K jet. Of course, BVM might, hey, more business for them. I don't think anybody in this entire forum, not one single person would support you making this decision. And that's maybe why the warbird guys thought we would not take you seriously, cause the concept is preposterous!
