I wonder what kind of Rotax engine can be used on the Cri-Cri
The smaller of their 2-stroke engines. Now out of serial production, but you find plenty of these on old or discarded UL, trikes and sailplanes.
ESMK, Sweden

Seems like some of the Honda 4-stroke commercial engines in the GX series should be possible. A little heavier, of course, but you get 4-stroke reliability.

Does the CRI CRI count as a MEP?

@Snoopy AFAIK, the Cri Cri does not require an MEP rating in the UK, not sure why this is though

Does the CRI CRI count as a MEP?

Nope, it has no asymmetry (VMCA = VS )

  • in UK, it can be flown with PPL SEP or NPPL SSEA
  • in France, it can be flown with SEP

Previously, in France has some class rating “single seat X” where X refers to,

  • single seat push-pull multi-engines
  • single seat multi-engine with low asymmetry
  • single seat turboprop

These disappeared with FCL and SEP is enough
