Hi all, Where does the Cri-Cri stand as far as RAAus registration is concerned.

Yeah, it is a twin engine, twin prop job and looks to be about 2/2.5 meters long

From memory, i read some where years ago, No, apart from having one prop to many, the wing loading is way to high. Cheers

I can tell you personally as can Ozzie I'm sure, that it is no damn harder flying an UL twin Vs a single. Just twice the fun............I'm sure the Cri-Cri would be no big deal either because the engines are so close in.

shhhh the fun police may be looking in on us

So I take it a Cri-Cri is out unless it is VH registered and you have a twin engine rating on a PPL license. Its a pity because they are nice and small, relitively cheap to build and have a decent stall speed due to Junkers style flaps/flaperons and get along at a pretty good pace on nothing better then a pair of glorified lawnmower engines.

That's right, great little aeroplane that we would be capable of flying safely..................

Someone knows his chamber design.

Toss the two strokes and fit the small RC turbines. flys better and more reliable.

 

yep has to be VH rego just another peckerhead example of our STUPID system.

The Cri-Cri made for a beautiful contrast parked underneath it.
