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

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.

Al, sonny, Marco knows it had not flown when the record application was
submitted.

Next!

Ok, no big deal. I was just surprised that Guinness would accept as a
"Airplane" world record, something that does not fly. My bad. I am learning.
How are the sales going?

I have four people interested in the aircraft. They are all waiting for it
to fly, and I am waiting for the Miami FSDO to assign me a resource for the
airworthiness inspection.

Didn't you tell us a year ago it had been certified as airworthy?

Now you've forgotten how to read? What else have you forgotten?

I said it had passed its first condition inspection and been signed off as
airworthy. It's a requirement for exp/exhibition. And it's on my home page.
Get a grip and get over it.

Nope. Cri-Cri is longer than the BD-5J.
