... and who knows, perhaps a Cri Cri could be a good sim project for someone, sometime!

Looks like the Cri Cri pilot doesn't even have room to close the canopy:isadizzy:

There is a FS2004 version of the plane. Have not tried it in FSX.

Race you!!!!!

 

[BananaBob]

LOL, that's great, wonder if it would lift a 230 lb man? :d

 

[MHAircraft]

The beauty of FS is that you don't need to sweat to lose 20, or 200 lbs.

I saw one of these at an airshow some years ago. It's basically a large model aircraft!!! Fully aerobatic too:isadizzy: Afaik there are also tiny jet engined versions too.:d

 

[bkeske]

There are some video's 'out there' of these lil'aircraft, and their performance ios actually quite stunning.

He's gonna get sucked into the engine intake! Great and funny photo! :costumes:

 

[Panther_99FS]

Reminds me of a SPEED RACER episode when the MAMMOTH CAR was driving next to a tiny "bubble" car...:mixedsmi:

Yes, I seem to remember someone flying a Cri-Cri through a C-5. I'm sure it was the enormous American aircraft, not one of the enormous Russian ones.

Don't the jet ones have an endurance of something like five minutes or thereabouts? I remember reading that somewhere, too.

Insane little aircraft. Gotta love 'em! :costumes:

Can´t really agree to that, these don´t even get the weird-look-bonus in my opinion... The sound is just, ah, when it flew at a local airshow I just waited for it to make place for real aircraft....:d It´s allways a matter of taste for sure.... That photo is great by the way, I love how the jet pilot, kind of undecisive...

or

"Whaddya mean 'beep beep'?"

or

"Roadhog!" "Hedgehog!"

This may help you out: http://flight.cz/cricri/english/

Think there is also a download for FS9.
