Monnett Moni
Schoolteacher John Monnett designed the Moni during the early 1980's, then coined the term "air recreation vehicle" to describe it. Monnett's design almost captured all the merits that so many leisure pilots longed to find in one aircraft. The Moni looked great just sitting on the ramp, it performed well, and someone reasonably handy with average shop tools could construct one in their own garage. Harold C. Weston built this one and flew it more than 40 hours, before donating it to the Smithsonian in 1992. |
