Thats a pretty good price.
I know of Radio Controled ones that go for a lot more than that.
But i presume the Insurance for light aircraft is quite high?
masseur would know about that.

it depends on its certification
if its fully certified (i.e. been through an air worthy inspection with the FAA/CAA etc) it will be expensive to insure
if its certification is as an experimental aircraft it will
very expensive to insure!

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.
