Chapter 31 newest ride.Is it worth keeping? Jon... Or anyone know how she flies? If she flies well we will refurbish her.

Notes on Flying the Monett Monerai Sailplane

Probably not a good first single-place for novices, but fun otherwise.

A friend of mine has a Monnett Moni at the Santa Maria Public Airport.

It does not do well in strong winds and turbulence.

As I recall the two cylinder engine has around 30 horsepower.

The glide ratio is reported by the pilot to be around twenty to one.

I have not seen it flying is quite a while.

Thank you, my friends, for the rest of the story.

It does not sound like I wish to expose newbie glider pilots, club members, to this aircraft!
Jon, how much is it worth, to sell her as is? Or maybe raffle her off?

I see too few and far between sales to estimate a reliable value. As an educated guess , I might expect average condition examples to be in the $4000 - 5000 range, with super-nice maybe $7000-8000, but unlikely to exceed that. Best I can do with little data . . .

Thank you, my friend. U-ROCK!!!
