The problem with the turbine was that it melted the epoxy joints. I know the plane you're talking about. It made one 30 minute flight... Idk what happened to the airframe after that.
I can't remember where I saw this but I have seen a picture of this A/C with two small turbines mounted in place of the IC engines. It is totally possible to build something like this with turbines these days thanks to the R/C turbine industry. Two turbines producing about 60 #'s of thrust would work great on something this sized.
ok since this seems to be the one mc-15 vid spot thats not littered with a bunch of kids. I was wondering if there is a kit available for purchase in the U.S.? anyone know cause this looks like a fun weekend fly. thanks
You need a twin endorsement in AUstralia. But it shouldn t be needed in everyones opinion excluding casa.. Also in Australia its a registered aircraft and not ultralight. You cant have a twin engined ultralight here so NZ might be the same.
I fly near Avalon, i saw VH-CRI and it was awsome. Just wondering do u know of any on the RA-AUS register and if it is possible to be registered as an Ra aircraft
i would have fixed a parachute in the space just behind the seat, some saving is better than nothing.

Those are about the coolest things ever. The only thing cooler would be one with those little jets mounted on the underside of the wings!

in NZ, are these an ultralight or a registered aircraft?

The engines are 12 or 15 hp Jpx's in some places you do not need a twin endorsement to fly it, Canada being one of them.

What avionics would be installed on this plane.
NINETWENTYEIGHT 4 years ago
Blazerblast: Two Stihl 8hp chainsaw engines (probably ~50cc each)
Oisiaa: Too fast to be an ultralight, so yes.

Do you have to have a full up pilots license to fly this thing?
oisiaa2006 5 years ago
Obviously you do.

In germany the Cri Cri is registered as an light twin-engined aircraft like a Piper Seneca e.g. So I think you do need a license for fly this thing.
