CriCri is the smalled twin engine plane in the world.
It was in 1971, when CriCri's aircraft designer Michel Colomban started work on this small aircraft with two engines. His target was to build a very small, economical plane with two engines, which would be able to fly also some aerobatic maneuvers. He also wanted not to exceed 1000 USD as the price including two engines. Of course, these prices are from year 1970:-).
Constructional works on this homebuilt ultralight aircraft took around 1500 working hours. Than was the Cri-Cri plane, which has been nicknamed after Michel's daughter, prepared for its very first flight.
First flight was performed by test pilot Robert Buisson. It was in 1973, 19th July on airport 'Guyancourt Airport', only a few kilometers from Paris. After testing of landing gear, Michel with Robert decided to change their current two-wheeled gear to more safe three-wheeled gear. Everything was prepared for take-off, so Buisson accelerated, and the aircraft during next eight seconds achieved 100 km/hour, and took wing above runway...
Here is a picture.
I am wondering if anyone could help me out with a few things. First with the paint it's ok and I will probably repaint it but not really so keen on how to put a pilot in the cockpit? Right now it looks like an rc plane and i was wondering if someone could insert a pilot.
Also, when taxing the plane it bounces like crazy and i'm pretty sure it has to do with the Position thing in the Aircraft.cfg. I'm haven't messed with it enough to figure out how to fix it so i was wondering if someone could fix this for me.
This is defiantly a fun little plane to fly and I hope someone will have a big enough heart to help me so that everyone can enjoy it!
