Default Is this the new RV-13? (video)
This is got to be by far the craziest airplane I've seen! Build time would be around 200-300 hrs by my estimate.

No, it's a Cri-Cri. French design, been around a long time.

The Cri-cri makes an RV-3 look absolutely spacious! You gotta give the guy points for guts; doing aerobatics in that thing. I'm trying to be kind.

You should see the jet version. Has two RC model tubines on it and actually flies very well making it the worlds smallest twin jet. My friend has a Cri Cri that used to be a flyer. It is even smaller than it looks in the picture. I'm 6' and can get in it but no way I could fly it. Don

It flies like an RC plane. It looks to be about the same sizes as the RC B-52 I saw on youtube a while back.

Default Model size
I've got a couple of Giant Scale Aerobatic planes **** near as big. This thing was at Osh a few years ago. It is very tiny.

Could you imagine applying for a job and your log book shows 1500 hours of 'twin time' and you got it in this!!!!
