Yeh but it will Only be expensive as masseur said if it hasn't passed FAA/CAA Certification,which this may have done?
seeing that the the Cri-Cri has been around for a few years now i presume it would have passed all the safety standards...possibly?
John now find out it if has passed them or not?

Quote from chron.com:
"
If an typical ultralight is like a motorcycle in the sky, this this thing is like a go-cart in the sky
This incredible little flying machine warps all kinds of expectations about ultralights. It's weight (165 lbs, empty) allows it to fall within the limits of an ultralight, but it's way too fast at 114mph (cruise). Plus, the FAA isn't fond of twin engine aircraft that are unregulated. So, the irony is, here is a very lightweight aircraft, but it flies too fast to be an ultralight, and the twin engines would prevent it from being in the Light Sport Aircraft category, so the only way (in the U.S.) to legally fly this is if it were an Experimental-Amateur Built category aircraft.
I'd bet anything that it's a blast to fly!"
So it is experimental hehe. Masseur, fork out some money for it man. |

If you are into light aircraft with power then this is it:
http://www.aeroprakt.kiev.ua/eng_html/main.html
Check out the a36 (the latestest and most roomy luxurious version) and the a26. Both are setup for twin engines. the a36 comes standard with the rotax 912 engine. It will do some 138mph(260km/h) max. But both the aircraft can be ordered with the rotax 914 engine. This can take them above the 320km/h mark. All this in a safe aircraft (with a parachute for the fusalage) that will set you back about the same as a new Porsche Cayenne S. This aircraft is certified so insurance will only be expensive.
Cheers
