[1] The Monotrace was conceived as a soaring trike with retractable main landing gear.
It features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a single-seat open cockpit, quadracycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.
[1] The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminium tubing, with a composite partial cockpit fairing.
A full fairing that can be adjusted in flight to provide wing trim is optional.
The 50% double surface wing is covered in Dacron sailcloth, is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar.
