They never mentioned in that episode, but Tyrol could have been subconsciously drawing from his "other" knowledge.

I got to six shots of Souju before I forgot to keep counting "DRaDis." I've now had 8 shots. Gods bless the Blackbird. Gods bless Colonial Fleet.

Apollo gets the Blackbird destroyed....then......to top it off....the Pegasus  ...nice job Apollo :)

The blackbird is a great looking ship considering it was built from scraps in a cave, you forgot to mention that its not only covered with stealth plates, it also has several metric f*** tons of plot armour

You were off by one slight issue.  The Blackbird did carry missiles in one mission. The mission to kill the Cylon rebirth ship.

As a grease aircraft mechanic, the most realistic part of the show is how black bird is made lol 😂

or this dradis has the function of filtering out obvious space debris. And since the blackbird is made of trash, he perceives it as a piece of trash)

so the Blackbird was so good at stealth because the Cylons were looking for high tech when it in fact had little to NO tech.

12:53 The idea that the Blackbird could casually outrun a Mk VII Viper is hilarious to me. Also Tyrol is a mad man.

14:45 Hey Mythbusters disproved a Bull in a China shop.

I've been saying for years that the Valk was the reason the Cylons "found" the Stealthstar; glad to hear I'm not the only one.

Theres the idea that a person may be to smart for their own good. A lot of our modern break throughs have been made by accidents or some random joe blow in their garage. Necessity is the mother of Innovation/invention.

Anything putting off an engine exhaust plume or even significant heat in the black of space may as well be A signal buoy.  RADAR, LIDAR, and IRST would likely work even better in space.

Galen was a genius, pure and simple! He created the Blackbird, and not only simplified it's design, he gave the ship FTL capability. An achievement for a ship that small carrying an FTL drive. Up to that point, only Cylon Raiders had that ability in their own ships. But the Blackbird remains the only Colonial fighter to ever carry FTL. It was a shame it couldn't be replicated and added to the Viper MKVII.

Humans have a tendency to assume there is ONE answer to something when usually there are multiple factors combined. Looking at the comments, I saw several distinct explanations for why Tyrol's stealth ship worked, and I think the best explanation is that it is ALL of these:
- he made it out of debris, Dradis is designed to filter out debris
- the Cylons fully infiltrated everything humanity had, they knew all possible ship signatures, so they were only looking for those (and they didn't believe the humans could make a new design)
- it is low tech and Dradis is more sensitive to high tech; they wouldn't be looking for low tech because they don't view low tech as a threat
- Tyrol is a Cylon, he unknowingly accessed knowledge humans didn't have

None of these on their own feels like a good explanation, but all together they feel like a good summation of how such an advanced tracking system could miss something so obvious.

Blackbird I think got away in it's missions due to it being kind of less detectable than a normal ship that size, Cylons likely did not but much thought into it, maybe thinking it's space debris or some random Contact from space you get. Then during the missile to hit the resurrection ship, the cylons likely where too focused and blind sighted on the two battlestars and Vipers/Raptors attacking to bother think about looking for a stealth ship. Let's not forget now the Cylons are very flawed especially when certain organic cylons are at at the helm.

saw one person mention it. His uh... cylon relations let's call it may have played a part in it. Also the chief is just a legendary badass so there's that.

I share'eth not thine own Space Shuckles upon thee who forget'eth the BLACKBIRD!!!
