The Croses EC-6 Criquet ("Locust") is a 1960s French two-seat homebuilt aircraft designed by Emilien Croses.

Development

The EC-6 Criquet is a design for a homebuilt aircraft with a tailwheel landing gear, and tandem wing configuration similar to the Mignet Pou-du-Ciel family. It has two side-by-side seats. It first flew in 1965, and seven examples had flown by 1977, with more than 60 known to be under construction.

The EC-6 Criquet Léger (Mini Criquet) is an ultralight variant.[1]

The LC-6 Criquet is an improved version developed by Gilbert Landray.[1]

The LC-10 Criquet was developed by a Mr Millet-Coplasud who used fibreglass construction throughout the entire aircraft. It was used as a trainer by the Aéro-Club du Maconnais. While considerably more expensive to build than a conventional wooden Criquet, the fibreglass version was also 80 kg (176 lb) heavier.[citation needed]
