Hi Bob,

The Mono requires an 'above average pilot' stick and rudder wise.

The pilots that are 'up to it' love them....others all too often become scared of them and then convert to a tri-gear. All too often before they have invested in some good training!

There is nothing quite as satisfying as 'greasing a Mono' on landing!!

Keep me posted on your test flying.



Cheers 

Ivan

Ivan,

After flying Tiger Moths, Piper Cubs, Chipmunks, even Bristol Freighters or "fright ners" I find the Mono Wheel classic far easier to fly. "Not a problem" as they say down here.

Cheers,

Tim

Yes, I agree 100% 

After 8 years of Mono and about 500 hours I very glad that build and now flying a Mono.

I am NOT above average pilot but I asked Pet Jeffers to train me and check me out.

That was the trick. Before he came over to Norway I took about 100 takeoffs and landings 

with Super Cub. I found out that Super Cub is much more demanding than Mono, specially  

in cross wind.

My conclusion is:

Proper training and Mono is very simple to handle as long you are following the "Mono rules".

Must important ones I have found out are: Tailwheel as long as possible on ground and nose pointing straight forward.

What I found interesting is when I, by misstake, have not lined up the airplane perfect before touchdown, it yaws back towards center ready to land again. This time inline.

If it was pure luck I am not sure but it has conducted this polite behaviour 4-5 times.

Hi Tim,

Pleased to hear it and glad it was 'no problem'....must be something to do

with the Coriolis effect in the southern hemisphere?

Regards 

Ivan
