 outriggers. If memory serves me correct there was the B-47 several 

 years ago, for starters. Not to mention all the high performance 

 guilders, with the same mono wheel, and no outriggers.....

  




	


Jim,



Just to point out that monowheel gliders need several people to maneuver 

on the field, and at least one person at the wingtip for takeoff.

Some vintage motor gliders do have mono wheel and outriggers (the well 

known Falke, for instance), but taxiing in obstructed areas is a real pain.

BTW, the Falke, in spite of its ugliness, is really easy to take off and 

land.



Best regards,
