That's cool, wouldn't want to get in one.

That's cool, wouldn't want to get in one.

My thoughts exactly.

Cool. Looks like the real life model flies on two B6 motors. :lol:

I doubt that I'd be able to fit in one of those.

Nope.

The article just shows a twin prop airplane. I'd like to know the specs for the turbine engines. I wonder how thirsty they are? At one point in the flight video, they show the cockpit and the throttles are only about half way.

The Cri Cri may be unique among full scale aircraft in that it has flown powered by internal combustion engines, electric motors and turbojets. I actually have two different Cri Cri RC models, both 1/4 scale....with a four foot wingspan...

The turbines used on at least one turbine powered Cri Cri were AMT Olympus units, with about 40lbs of thrust each
