Well... I can name the U-2, and the Harrier as two a/c that have outriggers
.. If memory serves me correct there was the B-47 several years ago, for sta
rters. Not to mention all the high performance guilders, with the same mono
wheel, and no outriggers.....

Why has every aircraft manufacturer in every country in the world, commerci
al, military, General, light sport, ultra-lights, rejected the monowheel de
sign?

Roger and all,
The mono is a purebred.

After 500+ hours with a mono, I can only second what Bryan has said about i
t being a beautiful aeroplane - -but let=92s break the silence:
-
The monowheel has attracted some very unfair commentary. -Yes, ideally, y
ou need some taildragger skill or a conversion course to fly it safely. Als
o, if you=92ve got heavy boots or slow reactions, you will have problems. H
owever, if you follow the factory advice of keeping the tail wheel hard dow
n until you gain enough airspeed for adequate rudder and aileron response,
then it behaves as well as any other taildragger ' i.e. you simply pay at
tention and be prepared to make minor, quick corrections on the ground run.
-
While the Tri Gear has its own advantages, the Mono without doubt is lighte
r, -flies faster -and is extremely rewarding to fly ' don=92t let the
pundits put you off!
