--> Glasair-List message posted by: Rob Campbell <1global@adelphia.net>
Hello,
I'm trying to choose which aircraft I'd like to build. The SII FT
seems to be the best Glasair fit for me. Are there any "listers" out
there near Camarillo, CA who have built a Glasair I could look at
and discuss ease of build? If anyone on the list has any comments
about comparing a metal aircraft build with a composite build I'd
like to hear from you. I have never built an airplane so this will
be my first and I'd appreciate any comments about how much time it
really takes (vs. what Glasair says) and how easy or difficult it
is. Also, I'd like to know if the performance numbers match what
Glasair puts out. I'd like an economical aircraft so I'd probably
opt for 150 to 160 HP.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob, I finished my TD in 1984. It took 2600 hours and was my first plane
project. I imagine the build of a new kit is less than half that now. My
plane weighs 1090 lbs and with the new design gear legs has a GW of 1900
lbs. It cruises at 210mph on a 10gph fuel flow. racing has forced some
refinements over the years but it has always been fast. enjoy the build.
