Plug and Play Turbine F-16

We’ve all heard the expression, “I’d Rather Be Flying” And after a long cold winter, I could not agree more! Without a doubt you and everyone else in the hobby has certainly noticed the trend toward almost-ready-to-fly (ARF) aircraft and more recently the availability of plug-and-play models at your local hobby shop.

This has widely been viewed as a positive movement in our hobby for getting more people flying quickly, while also providing many unique model choices for enthusiasts. The pitfalls however is that often development and manufacturing care doesn’t meet the user’s needs and expectations, resulting in only short term success.

In the sophisticated world of RC jets the plug and play options have been limited to small electric powered models. Larger models being marketed as ARF’s primarily come as a painted bare airframe requiring the owner to provide all the onboard systems and layout. Often also providing the builder with countless hours of head scratching, and in some cases reengineering and reinforcing, in an attempt to get his new model flying.

That is until now.

For more than 30 years, Bob Violett Models (BVM) jets has been a brand synonymous with providing well engineered designs, industry leading quality, and reliable customer service to the jet community. BVM have recently taken their experience and thorough testing program to the ARF market by partnering with China based Premier Aircraft to develop and supply a new type of large scale jet. After significant BVM testing and a number of design refinements, BVM has released their first offering under this partnership, a 1/6th scale F-16, and is the basis for this article. Utilizing Premier’s manufacturing center to execute under BVM’s strict guidance and recommendations is proving to be a successful combination.
