The Dyn'Aéro CR.100 is a French kit-built two-seat monoplane designed as both an aerobatic trainer and a tourer, mainly for aero club use. It was designed by Christophe Robin.
Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | Low-mounted, tapered |
|---|---|
| E — Engines | 1 × piston, nose-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | 7.1 m fuselage |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Low-wing monoplane with two seats side by side under a sliding bubble canopy
- Large control surfaces, with ailerons taking about 60% of the wing trailing edge and no dihedral
- Wide-track tailwheel undercarriage with cantilever legs in fairings, usually with spats
Look for a compact low-wing aerobatic two-seater with straight-edged tapered surfaces, a high rounded rear decking behind the bubble canopy and a spatted tailwheel undercarriage.

- The Dyn'Aéro CR.100 has a length of 7.1 m (23 ft).

History
The first flight was on 27 August 1992. Construction is mostly wood and fabric, with a main spar of plywood and carbon laminate and a 180 hp Lycoming O-360 driving a fixed-pitch two-bladed propeller.
Variants
The CR.100T has a tricycle undercarriage and the CR.110 an uprated engine. The CR.120 has a reduced span of 7.77 m, full-span ailerons, no flaps and an all-carbon-fibre airframe.
Where you'll see it
It won the French Championnat de France II in 1994 and 1995, and more than 35 kits had been sold by 2001. Two flew with the French Air Force aerobatic team between 1995 and 1997.
