Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | Mid-mounted, straight |
|---|---|
| E — Engines | 1 × piston, nose-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | Welded steel tube fuselage with fabric-covered wings on aluminium spars |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Very small ultralight biplane about 4.3 m long
- Welded steel tube fuselage with fabric-covered wings on aluminium spars
- Larger wing area than the heavier Mong Sport it replicates, to keep the stall speed low
A tiny biplane with a welded steel tube fuselage and fabric-covered wings. Its wing area is larger than that of the Mong Sport it replicates.

History
Ed Fisher suggested building an ultralight version of the Mong Sport, and a prototype called the Travelight was built. A second model, built for pilots up to 6 ft 2 in, became the Micro Mong.
Variants
The Micro Mong 2XF was powered by a HKS 700E two-cylinder four-stroke engine. The Raceair Lil Bitts used a deeper Micro Mong fuselage to resemble a Pitts Special.
Where you'll see it
A Micro Mong floatplane recorded the fastest seaplane takeoff, 2.5 seconds, at the Experimental Aircraft Association airshow in 2008. Fitted with a Rotax 277 engine it meets the American FAR 103 ultralight standards.
