Monnett Moni

The Monnett Moni is a sport aircraft developed in the United States in the early 1980s and marketed for homebuilding. Designed by John Monnett who coined the term Air Recreation Vehicle to describe it it was a single-seat motorglider with a low cantilever wing and a V-tail. Construction was of metal throughout and it was intended to be easy and inexpensive to build and fly.

" Monnett Moni Motorglider " is the name given to the Monnet design by its designer John Monnett.1

I completed these plans for The Monnett Moni motor glider in 1/2 scale. The idea was to simplify the build so the average sport scale builder can build one in a minimum amount of time.3

Made by Homebuilt aircraftMonnett Experimental Aircraft Inc for homebuilding.

I have build the Monnett Moni in 50% scale. I wanted to do this in all metal too. But at that time I didn't find the good material to do so.4
