Can any of these be seen today?? How bout a home built?



The Marske Monarch, previously mentioned, is a homebuilt open cockpit
design. It has very good low speed capabilities and is therefore well
suited to the open cockpit configuration.

The Woodstock, also a homebuilt, has an optional open cockpit
configuration.

One of the most enjoyable flight experiences I ever had was in Jeff
Byard's beautiful vintage T-21 late one evening during glass-off
conditions in the Tehachapi Mountains. Only thing missing in the
cockpit were a couple of lawn chairs and beers to enjoy the evening
breeze. Very quiet, given the low flight speeds and 4 mph operation
range for the "low " drag bucket.
