Hi Vaughn,

Thanks for the note, I appreciate it. I agree, the Moni can have some
real issues. The folks on the Moni group have been great in that
regard, there's lots of collective experience there, both good and
bad. I'm going into this with eyes wide open so to speak and will
proceed with caution. It will be a straight build, incorporating all
the safety modifications that have been developed - no self
engineering on my part. If at any point the project seems to be going
poorly, that will be the end of it.

I'm pretty anal when it comes to my aviation pursuits and, while I
enjoy building, the last thing I want is to put myself in any danger.
If in the end all I've managed to do is rivet a bunch of aluminum
together that's OK. I'll consider it a warm up for an RV-8! :-)

Thanks again Vaughn

Take care,
Steve

Steve, I went to the Moni group to get the url and saw that you are already
there. That is the place with the answers. I am a glider guy, and LOVE the
concept of the Moni, but I have come to the sad conclusion that the type has
some real problems. There are reasons why there aren't that many of them
flying. Make a very good reality check before you proceed further.
