Jurca MJ-6 Crivats explained

The Jurca MJ-6 Crivats (from Crivăț a wind in Romania) is a plans built homebuilt, twin engine design from Romanian-born Marcel Jurca.

Design

The MJ-6 was designed to be a retractable tricycle geared, low-wing, all-wood construction, twin engine homebuilt. The wooden structure is covered with 1/8" plywood panels. The engine gauges are mounted externally on the engine nacelles facing the pilot. The cowlings and canopy were to be sourced from Falconar Avia.[1]

Construction was started in 1964, but it was never completed.[2] It was a two-seat tandem design - a side-by-side version, the MJ-66 was also planned but never built.[3]
