assume this one would require a type rating?

Ever seen the turbine powered Cri-Cri?

Correct me if I am wrong but the turbines used on the Cri-Cri
are made for the Radio Controlled model market.

Yup. If you look at the other links in the gallery on the amtjets.com
site, it's all models.

There are mushrooms that can survive weeks, months without air or food.
They just dry out and when water comes back, they wake up again. And call
the helldesk about their password expiring. -- after Jens Benecke and Tanuki

There's also a video clip of the Cri-Cri flying between a couple of
parked cars while a guy on a motorcycle does a ramp jump over
them at the same time.

There was an article a few years back in one of the UK mags
about flying that.

At one of the PFA Rallies I went to they had a Cri-cri (French
for Cricket, as in grasshopper thing) parked next to a radio
controlled Lancaster bomber. The Lancaster was bigger, at
least in wingspan, possibly in length.

Discovery Wings keeps showing a clip (in their advertising promo
thing) which appears to show a Cri-cri emerging having flown through
the middle of a C5.
