A bandit is loos in Brazil

Model Airplane News, Sep 1999 by Chianelli, Chris

Garland Hamilton and his Bandit stole the show at the FESBRAER event in Gaspar, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The awesome combination of this BVM jet, a Ram 750 turbine and Garland's super piloting skills wowed an audience of more than 2,000. Garland's Bandit isn't the only fast thing in Brazil, though; the entire hobby industry in that country is one of the fastestgrowing in the world.
