These are the original two BVM Mavericks I built and have flown now since 2001. |
Ducted fan version with BVM 96 engine and bio-fan unit. Produces about 12 to 14 lbs. of thrust. |
|
Electronic component installation of most of the controlled servos that operate retractable landing gear, brakes, throttle control and throttle mixture.
|
Electronic installation which had to be fitted on 3 removable decks in order to complete the additional electronic circuitry for the conversion from ducted fan to turbine. Photo on left represents before (ducted fan version) and above is after. |
|
Turbine bypass unit which accelerates the air in and around the turbine. |
View represents top of bypass unit removed exposing the turbine engine showing the fuel and electrical connections on the front. |
|
Turbine onboard status display readout. Two silver items are filters for propane and jet fuel. |
