World's smallest twin engine plane, very cool though I wouldn't fly that

Cool!
It's nice to see what people can come up with when they don't lawsuits to
contend with.
I would love to see a video of the Jet engine model.

Here is a direct link to the Youtube site:

And here is the same plane with jet engines:

Plus a host of other video clips from the official website:

It is amazing how much less people sue when they have the possibility of
losing and having to pay all legal fees for both sides. Wonder how we can
get that here in the states??

Darkwing,

death trap!


And with that thoughtful assessment, I'm sure you can tell us how many
people actually died in a CriCri? Why don't you try THINKING before
making sloppy remarks so harmful to GA?

I'd apologize but you just need to lighten up, it was made in jest.

You know that's what a lot of folks say about 172s and Archers.


Yeah, like my dad.


Sounds right. So, do you think you should be perpetuating the thought
process for another generation?


I don't say that about 172's or Archers, now Cirrus, that is another
matter...

I wonder if you can log multi-time in that...


I can't think of any reason you wouldn't be able to. You would be able to
log single engine time comparable aircraft that only had one engine.

I agree, but think about it, if one engine fails, you can't control the
thing at all (AFAIK), so even though it has two power plants, for all
intents and purposes, I would not consider it a "real" twin.

Now, I know if you look up in the regs, I'm sure it'll say simply "a
multi engine plane is one with more than one engine", but IMO this kind
of thing should be made an exception; kind of like how they have an
"exception" for centerline thrust planes. You don't need any kind of
special multi-engine training to be able to fly it, so why would you
need a multi-rating?

I agree, but think about it, if one engine fails, you can't control the
thing at all...

Why not? Considering the kind of aerobatics it did in the video, I'd
guess there's plenty of rudder authority.

BECAUSE of its design, the Cri-Cri flies quite well (control wise) on one
engine.

The Cri-Cri ...IS A REAL TWIN!+!

Darkwing,

Yeah, and then some non-flying person interested in flying or a
journalist comes along and reads this forum and sees even pilots use
the "death trap" designation for their tiny, dangerous, noise-making
rich-guy toys. Really funny!

Are you under the assumption that you don't need a MI rating to fly a
Skymaster?
