Default Mono wheel motorgliders

Could I ask what operating the mono wheel motorgliders, such as the
Fournier RF-4, Ask-14, Europa, is like. I have not found much written
on ground handling and crosswind operation of these undercarriages.

I am interested in the systems with the small outriggers for self
launch operation.

It would seem that the mono wheel would have far superior drag
reduction than conventional landing gear. It also seems it would be
much harder to operate on the ground. Any insights would be
appreciated.
