Default Large Twin Kit

What's the point in building a twin kit if you can't fit into it ?
A Cri-Cri French kit originally offered around 1971 and still being built.

Its unbelievable the what he does in that plane. With the canopy open like it was on take off Im suprsied he didnt fall out in inverted flight!

It doesnt look too much bigger than some of the large scale stuff you see at local clubs.

Guess that's why he really cinched down the shoulder straps.

At the large model show at La Ferte Alais in France a couple of years ago, somebody actually built a 1:1 R/C model of the Cri-Cri - not sure what the point was!!
In another example of the cross-over between model and full-size some guy put a couple of model gas turbines in place of the piston jobs and successfully flew it - must have been the world's smallest twin jet!!

I'll see if I can find any pics.

cheers
