I've never seen the line between manned plane and R/C plane blurred so much before!  I've got to get me one!Seems like the cockpit would be more appropriate if it had an R/C transmitter console, instead of a regular stick and rudder pedals.TX-ScubaSteveWhite 4

Great Visibility!!!!!Now, if I can just figure out where to mount my MG151/20's then we're good to go.Look out GUSE!!!!!!  I'm gonna have Oleg make me one of these and then, well you'll see :)Spitfires would never be safe again hehehehehehSo, really, do they fall under FAA rules?Maybe if you don't fly real high....Thanks EcoBlack 2 TX Flight Leader

This quote is from a Discovery Wings DVD description:"The segment that compares the very smallest Cri Cri Cricket ultra light with the gargantuan C5 Galaxy is something right out of Ripley's Believe It Or Not. The Wings producers actually flew a Cricket through a Galaxy!"Regards,TX-Rahman"BLACK 4"

That's pretty funny!  I'd have loved to see that!The FS2004 version sure is fun to fly... Not sure how realistic the flight model is, but it flies inverted a lot easier than any IL-2 plane I've flown!  In any case, whoever made the visual model of the plane, did a great job!It sure would be funny, if we could get a cri-cri model in IL-2, complete with cannons and/or machine guns, so we could all dogfight each other with them!   Wouldn't that be a sight?  Hearing the whine of one cylinder 2 stroke engines interspersed with machine gun fire would be interesting too. I probably wouldn't complain about locked-cockpits as much either, with the visibility of those canopies! :)TX-ScubaSteveWhite 4

Where did they put the MG151/20?Zen

no 20's. . .it's a derivative of the 262. . .it's got 4 mk108s mounted in the nose. . . hence the need for the twin engines.S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO
