Ok all you DF Jet people out there, I need some help!
I received a Byron Bullet Jet from a relitives estate, it seems to be in good condition, but it does need work. The engine has a P on it and is a 67, from what I have researched I think it may be a Picco engine (the glow plug is missing), but their website does not have any information on it. What I need is Documention on the Jet, Motor, glow plugs and some guidance on if I should get a new motor for it. I did contact IronBay, but they stated that they don't have documention on it (electronic format) but they can get some of the parts if I can identify what I need. This is my first DF and I would really be thankful for any help for anyone out there who knows about this Jet.

Post as many photo's of the motor and jet as you can. And I am sure someone can tell you about it.

I had one powered with an OS 91. I made a cover for the cheater hole and it gained an extra 20 mph. It was an extremely fast but stable airplane . I seem to think that I had maybe 1/2 inch each way on the stab. Ailerons I had about the same. Ironbay gave me the CG which was dead on. I hope this helps.

I used an OS .91 in mine. It flew great. Do you have the owners manual? I may have one still as I kept much of my Byron manuals.

I have one that is 21 years old. I is my fist DF. I love it to this day. I fly it about once a month. If you want to sell it PM please.

You just purchased a Byron Bullet from Iron Bay?
Everytime I've talked to them they've told me that they do not have any kits.

First DF I ever saw fly successfully, although the fuel system sucked. Also if I remember correctly the rudder is floppy and needs to be addressed or you will get flutter. There is an article in MAN I think years ago that shows some modifications to get the thing reliable. I think Byron had a team routine with the bullet, the article has the team aircraft featured. I have the article somewhere but dont know if I can find it.

And get rid of the engine and get a large head OS 91df. That one you have wont even make a good paper weight.

No, I got the plane from a relitives estate, but was able to order parts from Iron Bay. John from Iron Bay said they have everything except the wings and tail parts, but they are going to run production on those parts in Spring of 09.

Well, I did see my Uncle fly this a number of times without a problem, so it must of worked for him.
