This story highlights the creation of a road race engine from the fusion of two different enduro motors, as well as the design and fabrication of a custom racing chassis to house the “franken-motor.”
When I got a call to make a set of expansion chambers for “The world’s smallest manned twin engine airplane” I just could not resist!
The Colomban Cri-cri (or Cricket) was designed in the early 1970’s by Michel Colomban. Since then many renditions have been built.
