SXR Hood Storage ? Ghetto or Whoaa ?

Lol. No it's for when you have an explosion in your engine compartment like I had!

I had technical difficulties once (well more than once) with a Kawi 550 and I was glad it had a blowout plate and that it was chained to the hood. Otherwise I never would have found it or it could have hurt someone (probably me).

I didn't know they had blowouts, my js550 was pretty mangled when I got it but I don't remember seeing one.

The hood on older 440-550s didnt have the door. I imagine they thought the hood would raise up before the anything cracked since it was held down by a rubber band.

If the blow out hole is so important, why do SuperJets not have something like this? I always thought that thing was stupid TBH.

Because that would be copyright infringement.
