(1)Plan details: Two
sheets FLYING Mont-3’s
maiden flight was off a
150m winch line into a
force 3 wind, a launch
that resulted in an
elevenminute flight. She
behaved herself
impeccably, but the
flight time wasn’t much
to write home about. The
next outing, a
hand-launch from a
sloping field near the
windward side of a Devon
hedge, resulted in a
climb-out of a few
hundred feet and a flight
that a few club members
shared - they didn’t
want to bring her down!
When I finally managed to
wrest the Tx from them so
that I could ‘solo’
with her, Mont-3 was
more than happy to hang
around in the air for
ages, in fact after a
number of 20+ minute
flights it was my neck
that gave out. The next
modification will be to
plaster my neck with
Kevlar and epoxy! On the
line, Mont-3 goes up as
straight as a die and
flat turns for thermal
flight are a doddle.
Despite knowing that the
wing is immensely strong,
getting her down from a
dot in the sky makes me
regret not fitting
airbrakes; she has to be
clawed down out of the
sky by doing continuous
loops to lose height.
Simple to build and a
real fun model to fly, I
guarantee you’ll enjoy
Mont-3 as much as me.

Although this semi-scale
model is designed as a
two function slope soarer
the prototype aircraft
was actually powered by
two small turbo jets.
However the proportions -
and the "T"
tail - make it an ideal
subject for a glider and
Jack Headley has combined
the good looks with a
very simple structure.
