358 lbs. Pretty Good. Is that "ready to fly"? I.E. a Basic Operating
Weight?

Can anybody compete for a Guiness World Record "Lightest Jet"?
What are the rules? Obviously it need not be an actual flying
airplane...

CriCri beats that easily IIRC the twin piston version is ~180lb empty
and
~375lb MTOW. The twin jet version would be similar with the same
airframe.

A couple of hundred pounds lighter, and actually flown, many times,
successfully.

Too bad there is no way to notify Guiness, online. The only contact I
could find was snail mail.

Oh Jeez, and I'm already laying low from Zoom's threats/attention. Now
I
should attack Jaun's "Record". I'm a little surprised even Guinness would
accept,
for a record, an airplane that had never flown. Besides, Zoom has flown
over
twice as many aircraft types as the current Guinness holder. Obviously
they
are not up to date.


We talked about this here back when the Yawner got his "record." It's
not for the *lightest* jet, it's for the *smallest* jet. IIRC, the
CriCri was lighter, but was a little bigger in wingspan or length.


oh. damn, I missed that.
I sit corrected.
