Wanted Moni

There are allways a very few flying of any kit/plan built when
considering percentages. About 90% of original builders give up. If
only about 100 kits/plans are sold that means about 10 are completed.
When 10,000 kits are sold then 1,000 are completed and that makes it
look more successfull.

Yes, but I think you will find an unusual number of COMPLETED Monis that
don't fly, at least not any more.

several wings failed in flight, Monnett redesigned the wings for riveted
construction but the Moni's reputation suffered" And that is just part of the

I lost a good friend in one of these. I can only say that the reputation is
deserved. It is too bad internet wasn't going strong in those days, as my
friend might have been able to research his purchase before he died in it.
