The Criquet is a 3/4 scale replica of the German Second World War liaison aircraft, the Fieseler Fi 156 Storch (English: Stork) and is named for the French post-war production model of the same aircraft, the Morane-Saulnier MS.505 Criquet.[1][2][3][4]
Design and development
The Criquet has a 4130 steel tube frame fuselage, with the fuselage and wing all covered in doped fabric. The wings are supported by V-struts with jury struts. The landing gear is fixed and of conventional configuration. The Criquet was available as a kit that included a pre-welded fuselage. The aircraft's power range is 130 to 160 hp (97 to 119 kW) and the original standard engine specified was the 140 hp (104 kW) Walter Lom Avia M332.[1][2][3][4]
With a stall speed of 16 mph (26 km/h) the Criquet is capable of operation from small, unprepared fields and has a reported take-off and landing distance of 50 ft (15 m).[1][2][3][4]
Construction time from the kit is reported to be 1000 hours. Only one prototype, N22CA, was completed and it was destroyed in an accident on 24 May 2000 at East Palestine, Ohio, USA, with one fatality. The kit was no longer offered after 2005.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
