Cri-Cri Jet

This page (bottom) says 63 kg and 75 kg ...for the twin prop versions.

They list "Weight at take-off" as "170 kg," which is... 70 kg (Cri-Cri) +
100 kg (220 lbs for pilot and fuel)

Also this quote: "Whole fuselage weight is about 14 kilograms."

I've seen these numbers confused before. I'm still not 100% sure, but
I'm leaning toward the Cri-Cri having an empty weight of under 200 lbs
(90 kg).

Yup, Part 103 legal baby!!! ....well except for the 5 gallon limit on
Jet A ...and max speed limit of 55kts/63mph ....g

Does the twin-jet Cri-Cri still exist or does someone need to build one
to get the Guiness mistake fixed?

Light Sport Pilot has the restrictions of no turbines and no twins, however,
Part 103 has no such restrictions - but 103 does have the fuel limit of 5
gallons, speed limit of 63 mph and the weight limit of 254 lbs. Safety
equipment can be added above and beyond the 254 limit ...like how about
another 5 gallons of fuel please - for safety!

FAR Part 103:

Guiness World Record smallest jet, only cares about it being a "jet" and
"162 kg" max weight...

Now if you actually want to fly it (apparently Yawn doesn't), then you
can do the FAA paperwork for what classification you desire...

I will contribute to the cause, that has the current record holder
replaced...

Yah, but will the landing gear hold together through rotation?

I'm sure zzzoom could roll, loop and spin them...

Nope. The Cri-cri is _longer_ than the BD-5J. That's why the BD-5J has held
the record for more than 25 years.

I think they need to reconsider by using weight and surface area...

There's a Yahoo group that has a large number of members who either build or fly the Cri Cri. They probably could tell you how many are flying in the US:
