That is the coolest thing I've ever seen!
Judging by the first shot, I'm not even sure that dude'd even be able to turn his head!
First the smart car, then the... smart plane??? Leave it to the Germans!

Would look interesting on a resume.
Saw the same machine somewhere with RC model jet engines. Jet time is Jet time...

I own a CRI CRI and it is a marvelous machine designed by a French Aeronautical Engineer.
I also was thinking of converting it to the jet engines, but the fuel burn is so high I would only gt about twenty minutes of flight thime out of it , even with an extra fuel tank mounted under the wing. And the engines would cost a small fortune.
However there are new two cylinder horizontally opposed piston engines now avaliable that are used on military drones that will really increase performance and reliability..should get about 3 thousand feet a minute climb on two and around 1 thousand per min. on one.
When I finish my Cub I might upgrade my Cri Cri and use it for airshow display doing aerobatics.

Hmmm Canuck, maybe if you could afford to own one you wouldn't really be to concerned about either multi time or having to eat kraft dinner?

I wrote to Michel Colomban precisely, and he has never turned me an answer for the moment.
