Anyone here bought from this guy? I don't think this is the licensed
copy since he's selling several and in CD format.

He's pirating someone else's intellectual property. Do not buy from
this guy. The designer is still alive, and has explictly decided NOT
to sell plans in North America, after bad experiences with licensing
them to Falconar Avia Back In The Day.

To quote a rather infamous comic strip character: "pfffttt!!!!"

OTOH, although I used to think that the CriCri was an incredibly cool
concept, I am now convinced that it was really designed to make the BD-5
look like a "Mil-Spec" item. This is mostly because, although I do admit
that I have never personally seen a CriCri,. I seem to recall reading a lot
of the skins are 0.010 aluminum. (Cringe)

However, I am not favorably impressed with those who seem to assert
"intellectual property rights" simply to keep engineering precedent from
public view.

Therefore, IMHO, if you really intend to build this thing, please include me
in your will. But if you are simply curious about Michel Columban's design,
this may be the only way--and $20 plus shipping sounds reasonable enough.
