At first I thought it was some contraption that some one had built....kind of like that show where they are given a task to build a specific thing from the junk yard. Then I saw that there is a fleet of them!!!

Pretty peppy little machine.....though I don't know if you could get me into one.

Its a CriCri...a homebuilt from the 70's. I had a freind that was building one in his apartment. Not sure if he ever finished it since I have since lost track of him.

I have plans for a Cri Cri in my office, a fellow workmate has one 90% complete, and a student at me regular flying club has one flying....

as for being hard to see, i was hoping to rego mine as VH-DOT.

There a few in Europe are Turbine powered.... using the small turbine engines usually found in Model aircraft.... and they get along really well...

if you build to plans the aircraft is capable to unlimited aerobatic flight with limits and 9 G and -6.

i have heaps of vids and pics of the Cri Cri.

so if your looking for very cheap twin time, the cri cri is the way to go... all time logged in a cri cri is Twin command time...and can be turbine powered.

Not bad for a pair of 12 to 15 hp snowmobile engins.

Marc,

Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous
But to an even greater degree than the sea,
it is terribly unforgiving of any
carelessness, incapacity, or neglect.

I could just see that at a job interview, "so, you've got 1000 hours multi turbine PIC in a what?" That might actually take more guts than flying one!

I'd certainly give it a shot though, looks like fun!

This one is cool, too. Don't have time to look at the others right now, but they look interesting...
