I recently had a chance to try a Dynaero *MCR01. It looked

to the C's I've flown. The stiffness of the wings/air frame
was very apparent as was the light weight (it's all CF). The
stick forces were

light and I had only to think about a turn and it
would do it. It seemed very neutral in roll (up to 40
degrees) with almost no rudder needed. Over 40 a slight
overbank tendency appeared but that may have been related to
my coordination being a bit off. A hard climb near Vx needed
a lot of rudder compared to level flight. I

you get the chance I'd urge you to check it out -I'm amazed
at what 100HP can achieve in a modern airframe!
I'd like to see what the 4 seat version can do too.

That's Michael Columban's airplane, isn't it? Yes, the figures
are unbeleivable, but he does do the unbeleivable!

I saw a cri-cri on the ground and doing some aerobatics last
year. It was really hard to believe it could fly at all, let
alone so well! Mind, you I would not have been able to get in it
(and even if I could I don't know that I would want to).

I'd love to fly one. A set of drawings just changed hands on ebay
last wee

for 1600 bucks!

I don't think you should start drooling over a new plane 'til you
finish the old one. Mrs. Bunyip won't tolerate it. But if you want
to fly one come visit me.

You have a Cri Cri? I'm there.

No, I don't have one. I know where one is tho. Single seat plane,
Doubt the owner would let you loose but you never know.


Well, I wouldn't if it were mine!

Nifty machine.. Someone put a pair of model airplane jets on one..///
