So glad you didn't bother showing it take off. After all, what we really enjoy seeing is a person adjusting their seat harness for long periods of time.
YEAH, WHEN I WAS AN FAA AVIATION INSPECTOR, I CERTIFIED ONE OF THESE AT HAWTHORN AIRPORT IN LOS ANGELES. THE GUY WHO ASSEMBLED IT WAS A PILOT FOR A MAJOR AIR LINES. THESE THING WILL GO 120 MPH AND 80 MPH ON ONE ENGINE, ONCE AIRBORNE. THE PILOT SITS ON A 10 GALLON TANK, WHICH IS MADE INTO A SEAT. THE WHOLE THING WEIGHS ABOUT 167 LBS. IT IS ALL SHEET METAL RIVETED TOGETHER. IT WILL GO 400 MILE ON 10 GALLONS OF GAS. BOTH ENGINES HAVE A BUILT IN ALTERNATOR, TO POWER THE LIGHTS AND GAUGES, FOR INSTRUMENT FLYING. THE WINGS FOLD UP AND ONE CAN TOW IT HOME LIKE TRAILER.
I sat there for the whole video watching a guy sit idle and didn't even see it take off and fly. Can this thing even fly, or is this just another weird looking trike?
Reading a lot of BS in the comments... Yes the CriCri MC15 flies very well. It was designed by a brilliant aeronautics engineer, Michel Colomban. Search a bit.
How do you know it is an aircraft? If it ever got airborne and experienced engine failure, the glide ratio would be 5 feet descent for every 1 foot forward. LAWN DART style.
Could be exciting right before the inevitable crash.I doubt if one of those motors will keep it aloft.And then there’s the unbalanced thrust to deal with.
That thing looks absolutely awesome. Unfortunately the video just shows a guy checking it out starting it and sitting in it and taxing for about 60 ft LOL ...what's the point? You get us all excited to see that little bitty thing get airborne and we got nuttin! Thumbs down for that... thumbs up for a cool looking little Gadget. That thing is just slightly bigger than some of the big expensive remote control airplanes
The cricket is certainly the most brilliant airplane on the market. It is small on the outside and comfortable on the inside. I have friends who are very satisfied with it for its security of use and the little space occupied between two uses. But I do guess it's should be a better video with a real flight! We wait to see...
I see a lot of negative comments and for what? You didn't have to watch it nor take time to write something hateful most couldn't afford one to fly or even have a license to get off the ground
4 minutes of wasted time, an old man warming up a motor, what the hell is wrong with them ... there is no flight 4 minutos de perdida de tiempo ,m,un viejo calentando un motor ,, que carajos les pasa ... no hay vuelo

Just when we were ready for FLYING CARS, they throw us a curve ball and give us a driving plane 🤦🏻♂️
I have flown in these when I was young (for a quarter) In front of K-mart.
I could build a CRI CRI in the time it takes this guy to go flying.
Ok
Noesta seguro
Ok, NOW I understand all the thumbs down! It never clears its throat. Nor does it ever take off. Pointless post imo.
Waste of time I thought he was going to fly that contraption
Here is the video of the fly. ua-cam.com/video/knb3qNq-Uho/v-deo.html

@Frank De Ruiter(Silence)?😃 .......crick cricket noises in here. ......? He must still be in the 'BRACE BRACE BRACE 'position 😀
THATS IT!!? WELL DID IT FLEW!!? WAS ACCEPTING ON SEEING IT SOARING!! AND JUNK!!
Spent my time waiting for it to fly.
The longest video of getting into a car with wings.
Great a flying coffin! So when it comes down you just place the tombstone at the spot.
I would wear a parachute if I went in one 🤣
Damn so awesome 🚁🚁🚁👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing. ✋

We just need to go see part 2 lolol its so cute! 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hi there
I did not see it fly....so....is it a lawnmower or a weed wacker ?
Whats the point of the video ? Or am i missing something ???

I think it's a bush hog
Looks like a DAMN Death Trap to me !

Video doesn't show it flying. Move on. Nothing to see here.
ua-cam.com/video/knb3qNq-Uho/v-deo.html
Just a Pilot Thanks
The engines were originally Valmet 150cc double stroke intended for snow mobiles.
Does it fog up when you fart inside the bubble.?
Yup you definitely want to make sure you're strapped into the cricket ... wouldn't want to get bounced around during a crash
Great pilot... 4 minutes preparation... to go around the grass ....
hahahaha you right
No flight..did it crash and burn..?? Did the engines stop.? Did he get scared and get out..We will never know.
Why do i keep getting aviation videos with no flying?
ua-cam.com/video/knb3qNq-Uho/v-deo.html
Such a procedure to go through to move that bubble a few yards
4 mins of my life I wont get back.
Me 2 the damn thing never took off 🤔😂😂
What could I have done with that 4 mins of life took a shit ??
.
I'm too
If an engine stalls, can you pull the start cord from inside the cockpit?
noisepuppet You don’t have to worry about that damn thing don’t Fly Never got off the ground dumb video
Yes, but it won't do you any good as it is in your pocket. But it has decent single engine performance.
The woman standing behind him was telling her husband - "WHY THE SEATBELT"?
Man, I was so disappointed! I was hoping to see it fly.
Here is the video of the fly. ua-cam.com/video/knb3qNq-Uho/v-deo.html
As a kid i can imagine how can i drive that aircraft.....its small and its like for kids
Timothy Jaques: I could not agree more. I want my 4 mins back.
The 'moped' of airplanes. It's cool until someone sees you in one.
What a waste of time watching,he was just showing how slow he is and just jumped in but had no plan to fly.It can't fly anyways.
Uma Rangkada
I have to agree,as long as he set there and messed around it was almost out of fuel. Hahaha 😁
@@jazzdad24 ,yup that's true.
@@maryray889 If you flew like you pop off, you'd die young. BTW, he probably built his own aircraft, unlike you.
You can easily find a dork when he just have to look at the side list of videos to see it flying, lol : ua-cam.com/video/vtIDjpXbnOQ/v-deo.html
If that canopy comes open in flight, you're finished.
I`ve ridden bikes at speed without helmet or goggles....same thing, he`d adapt quickly.
Вартість яка? Скажіть скільки коштує міні літак?
nowadays RC plan comes with larger size, I can't believe this.
Am I the only one who can´t believe that this thing can carry a man in the air??
ua-cam.com/video/knb3qNq-Uho/v-deo.html
I wasted all that time watching this guy struggle with his seat belt .
Timothy Jaques 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Small planes like these are good for travelling short distance.
I’d be afraid to fly in this tiny bit of an aircraft.
Unsettling vibration form the engines, and you'd be screwed if one of them cut out in flight. But it's still cool enough for me to want one :D
You don't need a lot of wing surface area to get airborne.
Super!!! p.s. The headphones are bigger than an airplane :)))
How do you know it is an aircraft? If it ever got airborne and experienced engine failure, the glide ratio would be 5 feet descent for every 1 foot forward. LAWN DART style.
We ate our veggies, now, where is the beef?
Silly me. I somehow expected that thing to take off and fly. Maybe that is on pay per view.
Sounds like an extractor fan with the bearing gone...
Graham Schofield hahaha ha. .good one..oh my excellent comment
LOL LOL LOL! I doubt whether it made it off the ground.
Is he going to run out of fuel before he takes off?
It's a beautiful small aircraft. I like it. It must be surely funny to fly.
He is reading the instructions on how to fly that thing.
that experimental stuff is what did john Denver in
Just imagine one of the engine stops in mid air
Could be exciting right before the inevitable crash.I doubt if one of those motors will keep it aloft.And then there’s the unbalanced thrust to deal with.

I wonder if they make versions of this that fly like an aircraft.
Oink,oink?
Seriously,what difference is that safety belt going to make in such a small bodied air plane.
Christy Krohne maybe to keep you strapped in during turbulence, other than that I have no idea
is it a go cart? it never flew.

very good
Wait a minute! What was happening? Did he take off or not? Need my 4:07 time back into my life.
if you use 2xfast, you lost 2.03 min.
That things glide ratio is probably about 15 feet! Nothing more then a coffin with wings😣😫
Isn't glide ratio expressed as a ratio, rather than measured in feet? In any case, how bad can it be if it can fly with only 30 horsepower?
Very Nice post
👍👍👍
Tell me the measure of how long and how wide plz sir
Anyone else think that it resembles a balsa wood rubber band airplane?
Why not install those engines on the wing?
Design and aerodynamics.. check this cri cri fly with two jet engines ua-cam.com/video/L4ZGhPZEkZ0/v-deo.html
And it never flew.......oh so that is the moral of the story.
I can see this ending up badly. Lol

Actually, the cri-cri is a very good flying airplane, just a bit unorthodox

It's just a car that looks like a plane.
This man is a extinct specie of snail.
Very good for my children for playing
Damn thing probably never got off the ground
Which might've been a good thing....for the pilot.
A mew machine!!
It can stand on your grass and make NOISE!!

Uh - I don't think that the seatbelt will help You - - - -
It would be nice if this thing actually flies.
There are R/C aircraft that are bigger than that thing. NO DAM WAY I WOULD EVER FLY THAT! too small too unstable in ANY wind condition.
will it fly
A flying version is being considered
It would have been a hundred percent better to watch and take off. I can watch planes warm up anytime of the day. Disappointing.😞
Is that all it does....just sit on the ground?
It doesn’t fly, he just drove it into the hanger, lol
ps allen it does fly look it up
@@villiewhite2197 when?
Type in the cri cri cricket there’s videos of it flying and it’s fast as shit too 💯
Sadly, he ran out of fuel on take-off and had to stand up in the cockpit and "Flintstone" it back to the hanger.
I wasted all that time to watch a guy sit in the airplane and cannot prove it even flu
*flew
Wow.....exciting.
I'm pretty sure it's a popcorn popper designed to attract people looking like an airplane.
How big is the propeller for the cri-cri aircraft?
Why the harness? Ha ha, flight plan is around the grounds and big hanger to show everybody my toy.
Where is the flying part?
4 minutes and no fly holy shit!!!!
