It looked tiny but I was able to fit in (I'm over 6' 2") *OK. It climbed out at 1500'/min and had an airspeed ~140k in level flight. It felt so strange compared to the C's I've flown. The stiffness of the wings/air frame was very apparent as was the light weight (it's all CF). The stick forces were light and I had only to think about a turn and it would do it. It seemed very neutral in roll (up to 40 degrees) with almost no rudder needed. Over 40 a slight overbank tendency appeared but that may have been related to my coordination being a bit off. A hard climb near Vx needed a lot of rudder compared to level flight. If you get the chance I'd urge you to check it out -I'm amazed at what 100HP can achieve in a modern airframe! I'd like to see what the 4 seat version can do too. That's Michael Columban's airplane, isn't it? Yes, the figures are unbeleivable, but he does do the unbeleivable! I saw a cri-cri on the ground and doing some aerobatics last year. It was really hard to believe it could fly at all, let alone so well! Mind, you I would not have been able to get in it (and even if I could I don't know that I would want to). I'd love to fly one. A set of drawings just changed hands on ebay last week for 1600 bucks! I don't think you should start drooling over a new plane 'til you finish the old one. Mrs. Bunyip won't tolerate it. But if you want to fly one come visit me.
