Cricri

[The Old Bloke[_4_]]

I have some videos of the tiny Cricri aircraft, but all are of the petrol
engine version.

I know some have been fitted with R/C turbines, but can't find a video. I
have tried Google. I have seen some photos.

Any one know of a video?

Regards
Doug

I have seen this video on the net; ask around on fr.rec.aviation; someone
probably knows where to find it (might be on some non searchable site)

Photos of twin turbine:

Video of piston twin with tuned pipes:

I'll bet this is the video that you remember.

I already have that video. I was sure I had seen one of the turbine power
Cricri.

Thanks Martin.

I have seen the video of the CriCri with the two little turbines, but
apparently did not save it and can not find a link.

I wonder what the range and endurance are. Looks like it could carry
barely enough fuel to get around the pattern. :-)

That might be about as much excitement as the pilot can stand!

so do I. I was drooling all over the keyboard. Imagine that, taxiing
next to a Gulfstream, knowing that you too, are flying a twin jet,
except that the Gulfstream folks can't pack theirs up on the back of their
pickup truck at the end of the day (and the cricri is fully aerobatic
unlike the Gulfstream).

Seems to me that I remember that acceleration with the toy turbines was so
poor, that you had to have at least a mile long runway with no upslope, or
launch from the top of a moving vehicle.
