jb92563 Unregistered	Posted Friday, April 24, 2009 @ 04:41 PM Not sure if anyone here knows Hugh Targett from Northern Australia, but sadly he has been in a crash with his Moni Motorglider. I had bought some Moni engine parts from him a few years ago. The Examiner newspaper reports that apparently he lost control of the Moni after takeoff. He is in critical condition in hospital, and in a medically induced comma. He amazingly does not have serious head nor spinal injuries but otherwise has lacerations and internal damage. We all hope he has a speedy and complete recovery and will know more in a couple weeks when he will be brought out of the comma. Its always difficult to hear of a fellow aviators misfortune, and a reminder for the rest of us to always be vigilant in our endeavours. Ray [Edit by jb92563 on Friday, April 24, 2009 @ 04:44 PM]
Donald Unregistered	Posted Saturday, April 25, 2009 @ 04:30 AM I don't know Hugh but wish him a speedy recovery. I looked at a Moni before I found my RF3, but was put off a little by (a) the landing gear configuration had been changed from monotrack, and (b) it was terrifically noisy, though I admired the concept.
