The cricket is a single seat monocoque monplane with a small 4 clyender engine at the front. This plane overall is very docille but soemtime finicky to fly. The main reason why is that it can ether do a sharp dive or climb on takeoff needing the pilot to constantly trim the aircraft. The planes wings are tilted upward to generate as much lift as possible while needing little power. This upturned wing makes it impossible to do manuvers (you will crash if you try them) because this plane has little power needing to fly as lever as possible to maintain flight. The fuselodges design gas little drag exept fot the very front which i modded to have no drag. This plane cruisees at around 30-40 mph. The rudder is very sensitive be warned and the alierons are big and sensitive so dont roll to much you risk stalling out. The aircraft has no gauges because simpleplanes offers no aorspeed indicators with 70 as its top reading lol. The flight controls are simple, right lever trim left lever throttle right and left lever pull is up and push is down. Turning is simple: push/pull legers in opposite directions to turn. If you throttle up the plane will take off on its own and you have to put enough trim to stop it from pitching up to much and stalling and not to much to keep it from diving. Its good at gliding and when glideing a sudden increase in power WILL result in a sudden pitch up and stall. I found this out when i test foew it next to the bridge. When it stalls it will be uncontrollable and it will fall like fat pig dropped from the top of a 60 story building.
