Default Monerai P Self Launching Sailplane

I once saw a capable and skilled pilot fly a monerai as a pure glider.
On his first flight in it, I thought his wife and child would be witness
to his death, as they were at the airport that day.
he reported later that he could only turn left, and could only fly it level
with full side stick right.


I witnessed a Monerai crash, where the glider had been improperly rebuilt
after a prior crash. Another pilot rushing to the crash scene drove over the
crashed pilot's son's foot, but that was the only injury that day.
Can't make this stuff up...

ANY glider built improperly is a hazard!
