UNPACKING
Carefully remove items from the box. Open each package and inspect for shipping
damage. After reading this entire manual, get familiar with the major kit components.
Note: Damaged parts must be reported to BVM within 7 days of receiving your kit.
Become familiar with the work completed at the factory. It is important that you inspect and
approve this work now.
.
Fuselage Joining
Start by removing all 6 of the dowel
pins from the aft Fuselage. Use A
9/64th driver for this step. Apply
Thread Locker to each bolt and place
them back into the receptacle and
tighten them up.
BVM Part # PS-TO-0008
We used VibraTite, you can use your
favorite brand. Pacer Z-42 works
well also.

Once all the pins have been secured into
the rear fuse section you can join the 2
halves. Repeat the same step on the front
of the pins.
There are 3 Servo connections and 1 Led
wire to join. Use your favorite method of
securing the servo connections together.
BVM uses our Black Tape to secure these
together. BVM Part # V-PNP-SP087

Installing the Wings
Insert the Wing Tube and slide the wings in
place. Connect your servo connections and
your LED wires then secure with your
favorite method.
The wings are held by a front and rear

TURBINE INSTALLATION
The factory demo Renegade uses a T-22
turbine. Center the engine in the rails as well
as the pipe. Position the tailcone of the
turbine 1 inch from the beginning of the
tailpipe. Use your favorite mounting
hardware for this step.
Note: Mount your Turbine, Pump and ECU
in accordance to your manufactures
recommendations.
Make sure to center your Turbine in the
Pipe.

Equipment Board Layout
On the BVM Demo Renegade, we mounted
our RX and gyro as shown. We started with
our RX Batteries all the way forward, but later
moved them more aft. Follow your
Manufactures mounting instruction for your
specific RC components.
The BVM demo Renegade uses the stock UAT
the plane is shipped with. If you decide to use the
supplied UAT you must hold the UAT vertical and
shake the tank during the first run up to ensure all
the air is out of the Filter bag inside the tank.
AIR VALVES

Fuel system setup
The Demo Renegade uses everything as it
comes from the factory. The 2 inner tanks are
for fuel and the outer 2 are for smoke.
For filling the Renegade we use the supplied
quick Fill Valve. BVM mounted it to the outside
of the fuse to make it easy to access.
For the smoke we used a BVM Smoke Line
Plug (BVM # PA-SR-0145) and a T fitting (BVM
# V-PNP-SP003) in the system.
Note: You need to use a shutoff somewhere in
the system to keep from pushing smoke into the
tailpipe during filling.

RENEGADE
Assembly & Operation Manual
BVM ® 2023 11 2/2023
On the BVM demo model we use a 6mm ball
valve (BVM # 5315) at the Smoke tube to stop
the smoke from dripping into the Pipe during fill
up and shutdown.
Note: Smoke Fluid when run at low Turbine
power settings can Ignite and cause fire to
occur.

the fuel system. A magnetic vent plug
with a Red “Remove Before Flight” tag
and BVM Overflow/Taxi tank conversion
fittings are provided. (Tank not included)
Install the fittings to your overflow/taxi
tank. Use an overflow tank while fueling
to prevent spillage and to ensure fuel
tanks are full before flight.
Use BVM Overflow tank Part # BVM6037
Below, the overflow/taxi tank is connected. The vent plug is installed.

have to add weight to the nose.

First Flight Profile
Make the first flight with the gyro “off”. See also BVM article “Gyro Sense”.
Flight Time
The BVM demo model’s transmitter timer is set for 6:45 min. On the first flight, land a
couple minutes early to check fuel consumption. Adjust the flight timer accordingly.
Taxi Test/Engine Run Up
A taxi test should include a radio range check with the engine running at various power
levels. Check that the wheel brakes are adequate and the stopping action is without
skidding or pulling left or right. Be sure to shake the aircraft and push fore and aft with the
engine at half power, this will remove any trapped air bubbles in the fuel system. Check
the fuel line to the engine for “no bubbles”.
Takeoff
Begin the takeoff roll by slowly advancing the throttle. Maintain runway center while
holding about 1/2 stick up elevator; theRenegade will rotate when it is ready. If there is a
cross wind, hold a small amount of aileron into the wind, be prepared with opposite rudder.
Trim
Once in the air, find a medium cruise speed to set the trims. The aircraft should fly straight
and level “hands off”. When the landing gears come down, a few clicks of trim may be
needed. This can be mixed in, or use flight modes to trim automatically.
Practice Approaches
Save a couple minutes at the end of yourfirst flight to practice approaches and go arounds.
It is beneficial to become familiar with the low speed handling of the aircraft.
Landing
The landing is like most jets, “power on” during the approach. TheRenegade does not stall
easily, it is best to land nose high, touching on the main wheels first.
The majority of the first flight should be spent trimming and practicing for the first landing.
Save the aerobatics and air show stuff for later flights.
RX Battery Consumption
Your flight RXbattery consumption will vary depending on how active you are in flight.
Make a few flights and charge your packs to get an idea of your burn rate Use this data to
calculate how many flights you can achieve from your system safely.
BVM is synonymous with “Success Jets.” It is very important to us that you are successful
with our products. This extensive manual reflects our sincerity. As always, your comments
and suggestions on BVM products are appreciated.
