A friend sent this to me. It would be a neat RC model if the cockpit wasn't so large.
"Cri-Cri" World's Smallest Twin Engine Airplane.
Noted French pilot Nicolas Charmont has installed 2 AMT Olympus
turbines in his Cri-Cri together with AMT on-board automatic
start-up units and individual EDT's. (AMT is a company from Netherlands.)
The Cri -Cri weighs 170 Kg (375 lbs), and should have enhanced
performance with over 36 Kg (80 lbs) of thrust available.
Top speed at this flight was 240 k m/hour (150 mph). Flying with
only one engine the speed is still 160 km/hour (100 mph).
