Marske Flying Wings

A monarch isn't a ventus, but a J3 Cub isn't a Mooney either.
To be honest, the monarch looks like an incredibly fun glider to fly.
We don't tell 1-26 or K-6 drivers to go away simply because they can't
compete with the glass boys; Oh wait a minute, Didn't Dave Stevenson
just come in third place with a K6????

Maybe a Marske can't get the xcountry range of a Ventus, but I was
thrilled beyond belief when I made my first 12 mile fligh in a hang
glider and made it back to the LZ.

If I had time, I would love to have a J3, a Monarch, a Grumman Tiger, a
Hang glider, and a K6E in addition to my LS3. Might as throw in a BMW
motorcyle while I'm at it.

I really wouldn't want to replace my LS3 with a Ventus. If I did, I
wouldn't have an excuse for doing so poorly. :-)

I am, and have always been, fascinated by the Horton Flying wing. Have
you seen the aspect ratio on their last glider? It's incredible. I am
curious as to the actual aspect ratio and L/D.

I am glad that Marske is venturing into that realm.

There is room enough in this group for all forms of soaring without a
bunch of bickering. I'm glad Mat is keeping us informed.
