Does the Bryon Bullet have a cheater hole in the fuselage?

I knew a guy that had one many years ago. It was definitely the fastest byron powered plane I ever saw. Speeds were about 160 mph, maybe higher. It looked like it flew OK.

no cheater hole.....hatch covering motor......makes me think it will be faster and more efficient than the f16, etc

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.

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.
