Subject: Hot shots Mig 15
Hi Patty
This BVM MiG 15 was
built in Greece by Zenon Plerides in June of 2005 and purchased
by Dr Shani Studnik a few years later ( see earlier MiG-15 hot
shot testimonials). I then acquired the MiG from Dr Studnik and
did a complete tear down and rebuild including a full 3D printed
cockpit and animatronic Pilot. The BVM jet is now pushing 15
years of age and is still going strong. Just wanted to share the
obvious quality and engineering placed on the BVM Jets.
...
Hope the MiG will fly for another 15 years!

Terry and Shiela Nitsch won the Fun Scale Expert Class at the A.M.A. NATS event. The expert class had the most competitors of the scale classes. It was a very close competition and they won by 1/4 a point.
Terry said he is "Very proud to have accomplished this victory with a BVM Jet!".
Terry Nitsch and Jason Bauer proudly display their awards after a tight finish at the NATS. 1/4 point separated Terry and Jason.
Congratulations to both of them.
Congratulations Terry and
Shiela Nitsch on your First Place Finish at the Central Ohio
Scale Classic with this
BVM MiG-15.
Terry Nitsch and Shiela continue their winning ways in the Ohio area.
A five time winner at Top Gun events, Terry knows how to prepare the model and a flight routine that garners attention from both static and flight judges. This BVM MiG-15 is powered by an EVF 14S 9er blade fan with ThunderPower "Rampage" batteries. The model features wing tanks, speed brakes, retracts and flaps.
Terry says that the performance is awesome and flight times are 8-10 minutes. Shiela holds the 1st place award at the "Columbus Scale Classic".
Terry Nitsch won "Champions
Class" at the Bob Evans Fly In and Scale Competition with the
MiG.
He also had many turbine demos with the KingCat. Terry said
it was a great weekend down on the farm!
Jo and Jonathan Smith sent along this photo of Mo Ayoub with his BVM MiG-15. Mo celebrated his 86th birthday by flying this JetCat 100 powered all composite MiG-15. Mo's home is in Lubbock, Texas but he spends a few winter months in Surprise, Arizona to enjoy his hobby. At 86, Mo just might be the most senior jet pilot in the world!

Hi Patty,
This is the BVM MiG15 I bought
from another jet pilot several years ago. This MiG was the company demo plane flown in Top Gun 2005.
Over the
last several years I updated the servos, electronics and air
system. I am using the BVM E-Brake system that works perfect. A
Jet Central Rabbit powers the MiG, and guidance is with a JR 11X
radio. I have flown it at the RC Club at WPAFB several times.
This aircraft flies absolutely perfectly. This is now my favorite
jet....maybe until I get the Thunderbird Bandit flying next
spring.
Sincerely
Paul Zurawski

From: Jamie Snipes Patty, I wanted to let ya'll know
about Harold Little . Harold is a "give-you-the-shirt-off-his-back" kind of guy and loves his BVM EVF jets. In the last couple of weeks he won the Best Electric jet award at Mississippi Afterburner and just won the Best Scale Jet award at the EVF event in Muncie today. (10 May 2014) He is way too humble to ever let ya'll know so I thought that I would. Each of the awards were for one of their two BVM Mig 15's but he has also been flying the heck out of their two Electras and e-Bandit. I've attached a few photos.

AFS MiG
I just
wanted to take a minute to say thanks to the team that created
and supports the MiG.
I purchased a half-build AFS MiG last
spring and finished it up in the Red Bull livery. I'm
happy to say the plane flies extremely well and has great
presence in the air.
It's powered by a JetCat P-120SX (we need a little extra power with the high density altitude in Vegas), a JR 1222 Power Safe rx, and is outfitted with JR servos.
A special thanks to my buddy Dave Bottita who was an immense help with the paint. He's pictured on the right in the dry lake bed photo (the maiden flight).
I recently
packed the plane up in a Jet Case and took it to Mississippi
Afterburner with me. Unfortunately the weather was
terrible the first few days, but on Saturday I was able to put
eleven flights on the jet... not too many manufactures can claim
their planes will consistently fly that many times with just
fuel, air, and radio battery charge(s).
.. thank you guys!
Sincerely,
Dave Evans

Hi Patty,
Last weekend I maiden the MIG-15. It just needed a few clicks of left and a few clicks of up elevator. The EVF-3-12 performed flawlessly and I was flying most of the flight on half throttle
Even though the MIG has functional "speed boards", I did not use them to slow the jet for landing. Greg Fullington did an excellent job in assembling and Ron Derhacopian did an immaculate job on the "Speed Board" cut-out and mechanism
Thank you for all your help Look forward to my next BVM Jets

Alex is enjoying the way the MiG grooves in flight and this model was built by David Schwantz.
Woody Hopler of Hawaii sent in these photos from his test flights with his P-60 powered MiG-15. Woody said the MiG flew exactly as advertised and was setup per the plans. The JetCat P-60 provides scale performance and is very economical with 3.0 Liters of fuel on board. Photos by Eric Wu.
The history of this MiG-15 with American Insignias:
A North Korean
fighter pilot named Lt. Kum Sok No flew his MiG-15 across the border to South
Korea to land at Kimpo Air Base. His effort was to escape the oppression of
communism. After his daring flight, he learned that he would receive a $100,000.00
reward from the U.
S. government.
Lt. No resides in the USA and has worked in our Aerospace industry.
The U.S. Air Force used the MiG in many flight tests to evaluate it against our Sabre jet. U.S. pilots including Chuck Yeager flew the MiG and were impressed by its superior climb, rapid acceleration and high altitude capability.
According to our source "Planes of Fame", the U.S. pilots still preferred the F-86.
Lee DeMary of Denver, Colorado has been enjoying his MiG-15 for many years and recently sent in these photo's. The paint scheme was done in honor of Jack Whilhites MIG-17. Jack still flies his MIG at airshows, and for "you pay the fuel" local rides (in Colorado).

Aircraft 3D Printing: An Engineer's Story Boeing
Each Boeing 787 passenger aircraft has about 30 3D printed parts. Combined, Boeing Commercial Airplanes (jet airliners and business jets) contain 25,000 printed parts. And military aircraft F-15 and F / A-18 - about 40,000. Most of the components are components of air ducts, but there are engine parts and parts of the interior of the cabins.
Boeing spokesman Bernardo Malfitano spoke at the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh forum of aviation enthusiasts and spoke about how 3D printing is being used in the aircraft industry today.
Mechanic, tester, aircraft builder and pilot
Bernardo Malfitano has been with Boeing since 2007. In his career, he was engaged in the repair and maintenance of the air fleet, analyzed the wear and tear of aircraft.
Now he is involved in the development of new aircraft.
According to the expert, all popular 3D printing methods are now used in the aerospace industry: laser stereolithography (SLA), deposition deposition method (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS) and direct metal deposition (DMD). Unlike traditional techniques, in which the cost of a part depends on the circulation (the higher it is, the lower the price for each spare part), 3D printed products cost the same: it doesn’t matter if you ordered 10 or 1000 pieces. Therefore, it is advantageous to use this technology for small circulations.
Where are printed parts on airplanes?
Air ducts are the part of the aircraft where 3D printed parts are most widely used today. In modern aircraft, circulating air maintains a comfortable temperature for a person and a safe pressure. 3D printed air duct connections are used in the Boeing 787, F/A-18 and F-35 fighter jets, and Bell 429 helicopters.
There are also 3D printed parts in the systems that propel the aircraft. As a rule, these are metal products made by laser sintering or metal deposition. So, in the Boeing 777, the compressor is connected to the temperature sensor using a 3D-printed adapter. And in the F-15K Slam Eagle military aircraft, casings for turbines were made using volumetric printing. This reduced the cost of the part from $34,000 to $2,550 and halved its production time.
Interior details . Shelves, brackets and various fixtures in passenger aircraft cabins are often printed in plastic. For example, the popular Boeing A350 has over 500 of these parts on board.
Small parts. End caps, parts of seats and instrument cases - all this can also be made using the 3D printing method. In the Boeing A300 passenger ship, brackets and seat belt buckles for crew seats are produced in this way.
Advantages of 3D printing for aircraft construction
Additive technologies attract aircraft designers not only because they are economical.
They make it possible to optimize the shape at the model stage and significantly reduce the weight of the product. So, by replacing the cast metal bracket with a plastic one printed on a 3D printer, the designers managed to reduce its weight from 918 grams to 326. Of course, there is more than one bracket on the plane, so the total gain in weight is several kilograms. For passenger aircraft, lightening the design means reducing fuel consumption, which reduces not only the costs of the airline, but also environmental damage.
Parts with a mesh and cellular structure are lighter than monolithic ones, but at the same time they do not lose strength. Each new sample introduced in the aircraft industry undergoes multi-stage tests, especially if it is a functional part.
Is it possible to print the entire aircraft?
If additive technologies are so good for 3D printing, is it possible to print an entire airplane? Bernardo Malfitano is sure that now it is impossible.
Today, 3D printing is successfully used to make drone bodies and working models of aircraft. At the Berlin Air Show in 2016, visitors saw the Airbus Thor, a remote-controlled aircraft about 2 meters long. All of its parts were 3D printed.
But to create the hulls of large aircraft - passenger liners, cargo planes, fighter jets - modern 3D printing technologies are not reliable enough.
Malfitano explained that the US has statutory manufacturing standards. The aircraft industry is governed by 14 CFR Part 25 (“Airworthiness Standards: Transport Category Aircraft”). It says that the structure of the materials must be strong, and the details must be reliable, which must be confirmed by certain tests. Meanwhile, testing parts created by 3D printing often reveals defects and inhomogeneities.
The second factor is the price. Aircraft manufacturing is mass production, so it is now more profitable to use traditional techniques at most nodes.
Bernardo Malfitano's entire presentation can be viewed on here.
Learn more about the possibilities of today's 3D printers at the 3D Print Expo. You will see flagship models from well-known companies and a gallery of amazing art objects created using 3D technologies.
