RE: byron bullet
Ed,
I had one several years ago---It was a fun plane but had its' quirks. The wings are very flexable in stock form. I had mine film covered until the first flight. In a high speed turn, if you pull back too hard the model has a severe tendency to "tuck". It was discovered that the flexable wings were contributing to the tuck. The fix is to glass the wings. I used 1 ounce cloth.
I would guess mine would go about 140-145 mph with an 80cc engine.

RE: byron bullet
I had one too, pulled the OS77 and put a OS91 in it for grass field ops as that was all but once I used it for. I have some vid of it here somewhere!
I had alot of fun with it.
The plane is for sale for anyone that wants it, a buddy bought it and never flew it. I must ad, he doesnt want to ship it, its in Washington.
Pic, it was black when I flew it.
