There are allways a very few flying of any kit/plan built when
considering percentages. About 90% of original builders give up. If
only about 100 kits/plans are sold that means about 10 are completed.
When 10,000 kits are sold then 1,000 are completed and that makes it
look more successfull.

Yes, but I think you will find an unusual number of COMPLETED Monis that
don't fly, at least not any more.

From: http://www.nasm.si.edu/research/aero...ft/monnett.htm "After
several wings failed in flight, Monnett redesigned the wings for riveted
construction but the Moni's reputation suffered" And that is just part of the
problem....
