Jeff,
The scuttle bug is that the New Glasair is more interested in the
Glastar air craft. I don't think a company can offer two diverse aircraft and
put
the same effort into both. If the New Glasair does not in fact have the same
interest in its high performance planes, I feel they should sell off the high
performance line. Charlie Gray on Merrit Island Florida and Ken Johnson
appear to have all the details for making Glasairs faster. If all proven
modifications and cheaper manufacturing techniques where incorporated into a modified
version of lets say, a Glasair 111S or a Glasair 2SSX, then maybe sales would
pick up. But you have to also factor in the high cost of 100LL that may in
the end, make the new Sport Aircraft running on auto fuel the only affordable
way of getting into the air. I used to take twenty trips a year in my Glasair
with some trips taking twenty hours using a little over $400 fuel. Now the
fuel for those twenty hours runs well over a $1,000, ouch!! My airfield for
instance use to have the hangers full of certified and experimental aircraft.
Just walking around the field, it appears half hangers are now filled with
Light Sport Aircraft. Kind of sad when you think of it, I feel like I am part
of a dying and passing era in aviation.
