see - www.flight.cz/cricri/english/index.php

Could you claim twin time in this? (Said with tongue in cheek )

Ask Chris Thompson at Popham.

There's a good picture somewhere of him undergoing simulator training with a pair of lawnmowers.

Bystander:- "You're having a larf aren't you mate?"


Where'd his legs go then?

I believe the Cri Cri is classed as single engine as losing one is a non event. (Except for the fact that you are about to land whether you want to or not, but then that is normal for a single anyway.)

i am in the process of building 2 of them at the moment, and in Oz, you CAN log your time in a cri cri as Twin command time... and there have been numerous cases around the world of builders building them only for this reason!

they cruise at 100 Kts, rated to +9G ulimited aerobatics, and can climb and easily maintain altitiude on one engine.. the only reason there is no assymetric flight with one engine out is the prop wash is deflectd off the side of the canopy and counteracts the yaw created by 1 engine inop.
also with a relativly high wing loading, they handle turbulance a little better than a C182.

Why do it if it's not fun?

In fact, this was discussed a while ago on the Wannabes forum. Someone found a link to the jet version, and wondered if they could log the time as multi-engine jet time, which of course is exactly what all the major airlines would like to see in their job applicants' logbooks.......

Life is short enough, without shortening it further by getting into one of those

It looks epic fun! I'd love to have a go!

Presumably to teach people to fly one, you'd need to be a Cri-cri CRI?

Anybody see the Discovery programme where the Mad frenchman flew one through a series of arches In a coastal cliff. He even flew through a couple of them inverted!
