The World's Smallest LSA, or UL!

Talk about airplanes! At last count, there are 39 (and growing) FAA certificated S-LSA (special light sport aircraft). These are factory-built ready to fly airplanes. If you can't afford a factory-built LSA, consider buying an E-LSA kit (experimental LSA - up to 99% complete).

I remember years ago (70's or 80's) at Oshkosh when they showed them for the first time. The did a wonderful aerobatic routine with canopy to canopy formation work. To bad it is multi engine, that means no LSA. Tom

The Cri-Cri is a very well engineered and proven aircraft - very popular in Europe and elsewhere. Fully aerobatic and with some engines it will do 120mph. It is anything but a toy. The thought that went into the design is amazing - it is a very involved building process.

It also has a fine safety record - just don't confuse it with a Zenith copy (rip-off?) of it that had a lot of problems and has long ago been withdrawn.

Comes apart in minutes and you can put it in a trailer.
