--> Glasair-List message posted by: mooney37v@juno.com
Hello All,
I'm the proud new owner of N467DK, a 1995 Glasair I RG. Flew it back from Phoenix
last Friday - WOW what performance. Admittedly I did have some tailwind but
I never saw less than 200 KTS GS and sometimes as high as 230 KTS. Even with
3 stops (had to make a couple of side trips), total flying time was 7.3 (Hobbs)
hours - that's 162 KTS average speed including stops!
By my calculations, I was doing right at 180 KTAS at 11,500'M using 2500 RPM and
WOT (about 20" MP) and 8.5 GPH - this blows the socks off my Mooney's (previous
aircraft) performance.
Appreciate any tips/suggestions/help the list can provide - specifically, I'm looking
for builers/owners in the St. Louis, MO area and a good composite finish/paint
shop in the area.
Happy Holiays,
Reggie Smith

an old sailors term. They used to throw a rope into the water and count
seconds. The rope had knots tied in it. So many knots in so many seconds
translated to nautical miles per hour. It translates to 1.135 MPH. All
aviation charts and nautical charts are calibrated in Knots.

I had a Glasair 1 t/d for 2 years. Loved the Hell out of it.
Add:
Gap seals
Electric flaps if you don't already have them and Electric trim. (now you
have a place to put your instrument charts)
Upgrade the fuel tank vent system
Some sort of fuel totalizer (gauges on low dihedral wings suck)
Some sort of autopilot, so you can get charts in the back without rolling
inverted.
Electronic ignition
If you carry oxygen, make a mount on the back of the seat. (Tellyou why
later)
Climb-out at 120 kts to keep the engine cool. 140 in Summer. Get a couple of
hours in before you do hard IFR. It can be done but it is a handful.
Fly the heck out of it. Just toooo fun.
Learn how to slow it down. Learn how Not to overcontrol it. Roll the heck
out of it.

One Knot is a rate of speed necessary to travel one nautical mile in one
hour. One nautical mile is one minute of distance measured on the equator.
