Smoke Pump
A single connection to the receiver is all that is required for operation. The pump draws power
from the receiver so a proper receiver with adequate power distribution is required. Our
prototypes use the Spektrum SPM12120 Power Safe receiver. The speed of the pump is
variable based on the travel adjustment on the radio. BVM uses a simple on/off switch to turn
smoke on and off. The "on" travel adjustment is reduced to 65%. This allows a nice smoke
trail without wasting smoke fluid.
Note: A special "Y" cable is available if you
prefer to use a second battery for the smoke
pump. A 7.4 2 cell lipo is recommended.

The aircraft is fitted with high quality
electronic air actuation valves. These valves
are controlled by the sequencer board
shown. The sequencer features a digital
display that displays the air pressure (bar) in
the system. A low pressure failsafe is set to
extend the gear if the pressure falls below 3
bar in flight. The sequencer comes pre-
programmed with sequencing delay. See the section titled "Landing Gear/Door /Brake
Sequencer Instructions" if adjustments are required. The set of two valves are connected to
the gear doors, open and closed. The set of three are connected to the landing gear; Brakes,
gear Up, and gear Down. The brake valve is non-
proportional, either on or off. Use BVM Super O-
Lube on the main wheel brake drums to prevent
skidding. See the section titled "Lubing the Brakes"
for instructions.
Fill the Air system to 110 psi before each flight.
