"I have personally built and flown every BMJR kit and will continue to kit models I want to build and fly. BMJR kits are complete! If I need it to build the model it is in the box! With the exception of power system, radio gear; and covering in some kits.
Thanks, Brian Sr.
STAY SAFE; BUILD A MODEL AIRPLANE
August featured Kit #1
The Splash-E designed by Harry Stewart is a relatively small (44" span), light (13-15 oz), electric powered, "wire-braced" flying boat. It was originally designed around the inexpensive MGK motor; but today is perfect for a 100W brushless like the HiMax 2808.
The distinction between a float plane and a seaplane is; a float plane is just a conventional land plane adapted to fly off water by the addition on floats; a seaplane is really a boat that has been adapted to fly. You will learn that seaplanes can handle higher wind and bigger waves and spend much less time upside down in the water. Even so, the best time to fly the Splash-E is in light to no wind conditions. And a very real advantage of electric power for flying off water is that after landing, there is usually enough power to taxi back to shore.

August featured Kit #2
Orion
When the Astor Hog was introduced to the RC community in 1958, it become the "low wing" standard for multi channel aerobatic flyers. In April 1960 Model Airplane News reported that the Orion by Ed Kazmirski achieves a new standard of high performance. In the MAN article Ed comments, " The Orion, like any airplane design, is one answer to a problem. The problem, in this case, was the need for a ship capable of more nearly perfect maneuvers." Some of the most notable changes from the Astro Hog design were to move the stab from the bottom of the fuselage to the top, getting it out of the downwash from the wing. Reducing the stab area percentage and moving the CG aft for a model that flew at a higher angle of attack at slower landing speeds and tail high at aerobatic speeds. (of course the "new" .45 RC engine might have helped a little eliminating the need to enter maneuvers from a shallow dive) Most notable departure was the tapered wing which reportedly showed a big improvement, and aileron hinging to compensate from adverse yaw during aileron maneuvers. The Orion 1/2 by Paul Bradley is a 1/2 scale model of this classic design, and is capable of all the same maneuvers performed by the original. BMJR Model has a 36" wing span and area of 194 sq. in.

Welcome to BMJR Models
If you have found this site, you obviously have an interest in not only flying but also BUILDING model airplanes. BMJR’s primary focus is in the development of Laser Cut Kits for the enjoyment of being assembled by the modeler. You will notice our site is divided into four areas of interest across the top; Free Flight, Radio Control, Control Line and an Accessories category. For Free Flight you will find both gas and rubber powered Classic, Nostalgia, and Old Time models for sport and competition, and tow line gliders. For R/C our interest is in small field electric sport models and SAM Texaco designs. In 2010 we got back into control line and continue to expand our lineup.
Accessories includes items for building and flying like motors, servos, covering, boats, and anything we use and can recommend.
The Featured Products section introduces our most recent kits and products, with coupon codes for special offers.
We have included on this site a space to sign up for a News Letter where we will be posting updates of our newest kits and information about BMJR activities l building and flying.
To order on-line “for Security” we request that you set up an account with a user name and password.
