Pocket Monarch – Micro Catapult Glider
The Pocket Monarch is a precision-built micro catapult glider designed for remarkable performance in a truly pocket-sized format. With a compact 10-inch wingspan, this lightweight aircraft combines elegant engineering with durable construction to deliver smooth, stable soaring flights.
Crafted from contest-grade balsa wood and reinforced with carbon fiber, the Pocket Monarch achieves an exceptional balance of strength and ultra-light weight. Its polyhedral wing configuration enhances stability and efficient glide performance, allowing the glider to transition cleanly from launch to sustained flight.
The glider is launched using a handheld rubber-band catapult system, sending it skyward in a fast climbing arc before it settles into a graceful glide. Compact enough to carry anywhere yet engineered for serious flight characteristics, the Pocket Monarch is ideal for hobbyists, backyard flying, and enthusiasts of classic free-flight aviation.
