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.
