Description

We want the Venture 60 to be just as easy to decorate as it is to build and fly. So BTE now offers these elegant vinyl graphics . These graphics are available in white, black, blue, red, and yellow. Mix and match colors if you wish. - After a three years hiatus, Venture 60 kits are finally back in stock. Click here for more info on the kit and all of the quality accessories available from BTE. Honestly, it never felt quite right to discontinue this popular kit, so thank you all for nudging us back into production. Venture 60s forever! - The V60 has been our flagship model since BTE opened for business in 1994, and hundreds of them have been built worldwide. Venture60.com was started years ago as a tribute to a great design and all of those dedicated builders who love it. Sadly, the site languished, badly in need of a facelift. So to go along with the re-introduction of the kit, we dove in and totally revised the website, adding dozens of new photos and helpful info contributed from real builders. You will find several electric conversions, V60s on floats, and inspiration galore. If you haven't visited in a while, click here for a fresh look at an old friend. To all the V60 lovers out there, thank you so much for your continued support for this classic sport model. - PST now offers the Reaction X, an extended-nose version of their popular ARF. Incredibly, it's the same price as the original short nose. This is the perfect choice for your first turbine model or your tenth! Click here for more info on the ARF, retracts, fuel tanks, and turbines, all available from BTE. - The Reaction 54 kits are back! They were out of stock for a long time, but new kits are now shipping. The R54 is perfect for first-time jet builders and experienced jet pilots alike. Click the pic for much more info. BTE is proud to offer combo deals with the R54. Buy a JetCat, Jet Central, or PST turbine with your Reaction 54 and save $$$. - In 2009, BTE contributed to one of the coolest projects ever. This Super Hauler was flown in front of oncoming tornados and dropped sensor probes. In our humble opinion, it was the single most eye-catching piece of equipment used in the entire third season of Discovery Channel's Storm Chasers show. Congrats to the crew from Radiance Technologies who operated the Super Hauler in a safe and professional manner despite the extreme conditions. Kudos also to Reed Timmer and the TVN crew who pulled the trigger on this risky project. BTE is very proud to be involved with dedicated and passionate people like this. - Handibond has changed, for the good. Same name as before, but now it's made in the USA. Bruce put this CA to the ultimate test, using it almost exclusively in the construction of the "Storm Chaser" Super Hauler (see below). BTE is proud to carry, and use, this quality adhesive. The best part? The price! Click here for more info on the complete line and our amazing discount prices. - Bruce spent much of 2008 building three big UAVs for the University of North Dakota. It is a stretched version of the Super Flyin' King, optimized for heavy lifting. We consider it a new design, and have named it the BTE Super Hauler.
