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

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.

You have a Cri Cri? I'm there.

No, I don't have one. I know where one is tho. Single seat plane,
Doubt the owner would let you loose but you never know.

Cheers
