Ed Fisher, an avid compiler of Mong Sport history. In 1981 he met with designer Ralph Mong after the completion of the Fisher Skylite, who suggested building an ultralight version of the Mong Sport. A custom built ultralight prototype was built for Ed Fisher, called the travelight. A second model, built for pilots up to 6' 2" (188 cm), which became the Mico Mong.[1]
The fuselage is welded 4130 chromoly tubing. The front wing spars are 2.5 inch aluminum tubing, with aluminum ribs and fabric covering. If equipped with a Rotax 277 engine, the aircraft meets American ultralight standards by weighing less than 249 lbs. The wing area of the ultralight version is larger than the heavier Mong Sport it replicates in order to keep stall speeds low.[1]
A Micro Mong with floats recorded the fastest seaplane takeoff of 2.5 seconds at the Experimental Aircraft Association airshow in 2008.[2]
The Micro Mong 2XF is built to install a HKS 700E 2 cylinder 4-stroke air-cooled engine.
