(High Velocity Aerial Sensor Tester):

, evolved from the BVM “Ultra Bandit”.  It is the same size as shown here but has enhanced internal structures, landing gear and more internal space available for payloads.

The HiVast Mk1 is a "big jet" as shown here with 5'10" Bob Violett.
 

FEATURES:

• The HiVast Mk1 is flight test proven to endure extreme speed and G forces.
  
• It has a generous wing area with built-in washout for very stable slow flight and landings.
  
• Extra large landing flaps delete the need for speed brake devices and allow very slow landings.
  
• Model grass field suitable - because it is big and powerful, it can take off and land in short distances and the undercarriage is designed for it.
  
  
• Easy field assembly - We designed the 98” long HiVast Mk1 for quick assembly, allowing convenient transport to the model field. There are 2 screws and 2 servo connections per wing and stab and just 2 set screws for the fin, and if necessary, the aft fuse section can be removed with 4 set screws and 3 servo connections. With the wings removed, the HiVast Mk1 will fit into many SUV’s like a Suburban. We make a special Jet Cradle to make your Ultra even easier to transport and work on.

 

• For total access to the engine and fuel tanks, and, to further reduce the transport size of the HiVast Mk1. The aft fuse detaches as shown. The stainless steel tubes and machined aluminum receptacles are factory installed for perfect alignment.
  
  

• The aerodynamic wing fillet is complete when the molded aft fairing is in place.
  

• The heavy duty retracts and struts are specifically designed for the HiVast Mk1 and can handle the loads.
  
  
• Fuel System design - no C.G. shift with burn-off.
  
  
• Surface hinges are factory installed for the elevators, ailerons and flaps. The rudder is center hinged with machined carbon fiber parts.



• The rudder torque rod linkage is factory installed and disengages with fin removal. Factory installed machined aluminum brackets retain the fin and stabs.
  
  

• The optional under wing tanks are extremely easy to put on and remove. Just a pull on the EZ Hangar trigger, that’s it. The pylons are molded onto the tanks as a one piece unit.  These moldings can be used to carry additional sensors.

• The Eagle Tree Pro Telemetry System (optional) provides real time data throughout your flight with its hand held receiver. It provides airspeed, altitude, G-forces and many other parameters when used with a pitot tube and the BVM pitot tube mount.
