Are local hobby shop in the day carried about 200 kits in stock...

And as to Byron I could really get you wound up...The company was about a 90 minute drive from here, Some of my friends were their sponsored fliers/employees. I used to see all the Byron stuff  A LOT.  I still know of bunches of them around here (the planes) many of my friends were involved with the aviation show and flying after it left Ida Grove. I had dropped out of the hobby for awhile then and didn't go to the expo much .  Looking back I wish I had.

We recently had a club auction that was stacked with new unopened byron kits from a secret stcokpile..but they are harder and harder to find that way now. There are great similar ,even improved kits out now. But wow were those Byrons a major step forward when they were new...
