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.
