Greetings,
I am building a Monnet Moni that was purchased partially completed. I have found a number of components that were poorly fabricated (the "V" Tail front spar doubler looks like swiss cheese!)and I need to recreate them. Unfortunately the original builder did not copy the full size template drawings choosing instead to cut up the originals and fabricate with them. I'm wondering if anyone might have a set of the full size template drawings that accompanied the kit and would be willing to make a set of copies for me? I'd be happy to cover all the costs of copying, shipping and time involved. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. Steve San Diego, CA |

Maybe someone will, but in the mean time? Reverse engineer it? darhciR |

Steve, I went to the Moni group to get the url and saw that you are already
there. That is the place with the answers. I am a glider guy, and LOVE the concept of the Moni, but I have come to the sad conclusion that the type has some real problems. There are reasons why there aren't that many of them flying. Make a very good reality check before you proceed further. Vaughn |

Hi Vaughn,
Thanks for the note, I appreciate it. I agree, the Moni can have some real issues. The folks on the Moni group have been great in that regard, there's lots of collective experience there, both good and bad. I'm going into this with eyes wide open so to speak and will proceed with caution. It will be a straight build, incorporating all the safety modifications that have been developed - no self engineering on my part. If at any point the project seems to be going poorly, that will be the end of it. I'm pretty anal when it comes to my aviation pursuits and, while I enjoy building, the last thing I want is to put myself in any danger. If in the end all I've managed to do is rivet a bunch of aluminum together that's OK. I'll consider it a warm up for an RV-8! :-) Thanks again Vaughn Take care, Steve "Vaughn" wrote in message ...
