Adam Banks Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 By Jiminy!!! Used in phrases as an expression of surprise. Origin: Early 19th century: alteration of Gemini used as a mild oath in the mid 17th century, a euphemistic form of Jesus (Christ). Two lawn mowers bolted together plus wings!!! I've seen these fly in the UK - they're surprisingly fast and agile. I was amazed to see one here in RL in New Zealand (at North Shore, NZNE). Even more amazingly, it got produced as an add-on for P3D. Yet more amazing still is that someone like me bought it ! Just to show I haven't lost it totally, here's a wonderful freeware Dr1 at Omaka: Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boetie Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 You wouldn't catch me in one of those! My lawn mower struggles in longer turf, I imagine that would struggle in a strong head wind Great shots Adam Cheers Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvdboomen Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I've seen those in real life too in Belgium. They are very agile! All relatively of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Amazing little plane Adam, I wouldn't want to fly in one though, but that Dr1, yes! I've built several from plastic and balsa kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've built several from plastic and balsa kits. Well ... it's got two engines ... and two spark plugs in each (in RL, I think) ... what more could a man want? It's fully aerobatic ... and there's a nice yellow one on eBay I'm impressed with your modelling skills. How do you do the wires etc? Or can you only do the struts? Do a search for that freeware Dr1.. it works a treat in P3D. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm off to ebay now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Jiminy looks like it has 2 vintage spark ignition Radio Control engines in it! Dr-1 looks good too. Must find. TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingleaf Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Great shots Adam. I would fly it in a nanosecond. But only with huge adult diapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakashi Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Nice aircraft and pics of it, but I doubt that I could get even one of my long legs in it without being melted and poured in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Wonderful images Adam. I think it is called the Cri-Cri ( on looking back at your images I can see it written on the nose) and it is the smallest twin engine plane. Never seen one in RL but it was one of the first FSX freeware planes I installed when I was discovering pay ware and freeware add ons many moons ago. Given the choice of this or a paramotor I know which one I would chose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Adam, these are brilliant! Is this a repaint? If so where did you get this little toy? I was laughing out loud because I really like this and your shots are amazing, the color of the water is amazingly real looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
