Thanks, Bob K.

You might be interested in the Monarch sold by Kollman Wings at the
websited below. I am not sure if it is a Marske approved design or
not but it looks similar.

The Monarch is an open cockpit sailplane that tows with hang glider
equipment. It is well matched for scooter towing or air towing behind
trike or Dragonfly. It thermals well at speeeds hang glider pilots are
used to and has similar turn radius in thermals. The control system
uses standard stick and rudder 3-axis control.

The Monarch H is a redesign of the Monarch fuselage to allow for prop
clearance. This allows for a motor to be mounted behind the pilot
similar to a trike.

Although I was doing this for someone else, I had chats with Matt
Kollman and Thomas Johnson last evening. It wasn't Jim that wasn't
responding, but apparently Matt Redsell after a first contact. The
new Monarch will be the H, with an improved fuselage.

.. *The

I hope they improved the release system! A friend did several auto
tows. The info said it could be aero towed, so they hooked it up to a
Cub On tow it started to oscilate wildly in pitch (too fast?). He
tried to release, but couldn't and it PIO'd into the runway. My friend
received a severe head injury. If you fly a Monarch, for god's sake
wear a helmet!

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.
