BVM Ultra Bandit ARF For 160 - 200 Newton Turbine

  In September 2014, we updated the Ultra Bandit and manual to include new electronic products, installation simplification, techniques, and reduced weight.

  If you are considering a sophisticated turbine powered jet of this size; presented here are some comparison points between off-shore manufactured jets and the Ultra Bandit that is 100% Made in our Florida, USA Factory.

      Servo pockets and mounts in the wings and tails have been enlarged to accommodate the latest SpeKtrum, JR, Futaba High Voltage Servos. This reduces your time and tools to accomplish.

       All linkages are absolutely defined in dimension and parts supplied.

      Rudder linkage torque rod mechanism is totally internal and factory installed. No ugly arms and driver hanging out.

      The USA made precision landing gear and struts/wheels are test fitted into the model at our factory. They are mounted with precision socket head cap 
screws - not sheet metal screws. Carbon Fiber Flex Plate mounting of the retract units protects the wing and fuse from serious damage in the event of a hard landing or off runway excursion. Simply change the Flex Plates and get back in the air.

      Easy access to the landing gear mounts is provided should these units or their mounting need service or repair. Some of the off-shore products make this a real challenge.

      The Aerodynamically designed inlet system is completely removable for total access to the fuselage.

      The Aerodynamically designed Carbon Fiber ByPass system has the engine mount flanges that accept the BVM Aluminum Flange mounts, molded on.

      The double walled Stainless Steel Tailpipe is a precision fit to the ByPass for efficient and cool operation. Most off-shore made jets have much less than proper design in this area - so expect less efficient thrust numbers and hotter operation.

      When the Ultra's singular top hatch is removed, all of the Kevlar molded translucent fuel tanks and the BVM UAT are visible. You can watch the fuel level rise in the tanks during the fueling process, and then after flight, you can observe what fuel remains. This is impossible with some off-shore made products.  Any air bubble trap system that is not translucent and easily visible seems to be missing the point. Most so called "engine problems" are traceable to fuel system problems. The BVM Ultra Bandit and its new (2014) "Hi-Flow" Fuel System properly addresses all of these issues.

       An important part of all BVM jets design is access and serviceability. Our 30 years of experience is applied to each new product and updating the established ones.  The BVM Ultra Bandit is exemplary of this commitment.

      Fit and Finish - this is where BVM really shines.

High metallic painted areas require some very special techniques to look as good as your robot painted new car. BVM knows how, some off-shore operations don't. They might be better to avoid the metallic's.

      Experienced BVM employees, sand, fill, and finish the Ultra Bandit fuselage seams, Top and Bottom.  This is rare on an off-shore made sport jet.

      Paint scheme design: BVM likes real "Aviation" inspired, High-Viz schemes. Our sport scheme designs emphasize attractive, brilliant colors, and we stock the touch-up paint and tutorials on how to patch and blend.

      The Bob Violett Signature Series means just that, B.V. personally inspects each Ultra Bandit before his signature is applied and then it is meticulously packaged for shipment.

      The BVM Ultra Bandit now has a ten year history of being the absolute best sport jet in the industry.  Seewww.bvmjets.com/Ultra Bandit Hotshots for many customer testimonials.
