    Hi Plug.
    It may be edited, but in the case of that particular plane it may not. It could actually be the real thing with yer man inside and all.
    There are RC models of the Cri Cri, but the fullsize Cri Cri is still a tiny plane.
    Take a look here:

    I have seen the modified Cri Cri which had two model jet turbines on the pods and a pilot sitting inside.
    Here it is ....

    Cri-cri has superior aerobatic performance; e.g., the one in the picture is capable of 1 roll a second.
    Maybe i was wrong:eek:

    Very impressive to say the least. (Not one of the prettiest though!:p) I thought it was RC till the guy got into it. No ways I'll be getting into one of those...

    Yep, that is the full size.
    Note that a full size cri-cri was flown with RC a while ago at the "Ferté Alais" meeting, piloted by Mignet...
    The Cri-Cri, is the smallest twin engine airplane, but here is the smallest single engine...

    The Bee ! 2mtrs wingspan...

    For the Cri-Cri, I was lucky enough to have an aerobaticdisplay team on Cri-Cri at my local airport. One of there thing, was to land on top of a Van :eek:
    They then modified them with 2 jet turbines (AMT Pegasus if I remember)
