Default Seeking Marske Monarch or plans for same


I don't know what happened to your friend (my condolences), but your
comment may be unfair. *The Marske flying wings respond very rapidly
to pitch inputs but they don't oscillate.

I don't have a problem with the Monarch, I think its a cute little
ship. I do have a problem with a brochure that stated "Auto & Air-
towable" without specifying an max tow speed. I believe the tow behind
the Cub was much too fast for that light little ship. It was swinging
wildly from side to side, like a kite hooked to a car. If memory
serves me right, It hit inverted on the last wild swing. I do have a
problem with a bridle tow system attached to two tow hooks that didn't
release when repeatedly tried.
The last I heard from my friend, he didn't remember the first 40 years
of his life and if he left home alone, he couldn't find his way back.
