I poste this video in RAH, thn thought some in RAP might find
it iteresing. *That second plane looks a lot like the
bumblebee, maybe

even smaller. *Would any of you fly it?

That's Ray Stits' Skybaby. It's in the EAA museum AFAIK. I
think it still holds the smallest airplane ( wingspan) record.
there were a few homebuilders that got involved in a ****ing
contest for the smallest aroun
d
that time.
He said it was a handful to fly. You can see that on the
takeoff. One of the biggest problems it had was the ASI didn;'t
work worth a damn because it wasn't possible to get the pitot
far enough away from the prop wash..

Hey Bertie why didn't you build one of these:

Saw the first one at OSH many years ago. Pretty cool machine.
There's at least one that flew with two model airplane jet
engines! There's another youtube clip somewhere of one doing some
low level aerobatics.- Hide quote

How cool is that, eh? IIRC the takeoff roll is very long, but once
it's up and going it's fine.

Bet it really turns heads on the ramp when you fire up those engines!

How about four of 'em?

Saw that, the guy's got balls.

I like the Cri Cri, once I get enough experience, I just might get me
one O'Dem.
