Glasair 1 Pilots:
My son has moved 400+ NM away, so I now have a need to go a lot faster, and
I am hoping to find someone that needs to go slower or just needs the 5-6
gph fuel burn! Perhaps one of you fits that bill? I have a well-built and
well-proven Zodiac 601XLb taildragger I'd like to trade for a Glasair 1 (TD
or RG).
I haven't put together a real web page yet, and am missing glass panel and
interior shots, but most of the specs are here:

Here is a picture of the plane centerline at Conoco-Philips Plaza (!) at
Oshkosh in July this year:

I will be listing her for $44K with a fresh inspection, and she should be
ready to go by the Copperstate Fly-In in mid-October
(http://www.copperstate.org/csj/). I am willing to discuss +/- $5K or so in
the deal. Performance One )nee Phoenix Composites) is right here at my
field (FFZ) for a pre-buy inspection on the Glasair, if someone is
interested.
Let's talk if you are interested,
Andy

A word of advice,
Glasair I RG landing gear parts are no longer made or stocked by the
factory. That means that if you bend your landing gear you'll have to
manufacturer your own parts or scrap the airplane.
GI's cruise at 170 KTS (Most have 160 HP engines)
GII's, around 180 KTS (Most have 180 HP engines)
GIII's cruise around 230 KTS (300 HP engine)
Fixed gear will slow the above airplanes by 10-15 KTS (Except the GIII
which doesn't have a fixed gear flavor).

Hmmm.. My Glasair 1 FT with fixed gear, fixed pitch prop had a top
speed of 194 kts IAS at 8000 feet. Lyc 150hp.

Well built Glasair2 Fts' are faster on average than the Rg's. The reason
being is RG gear weights a heck of a lot more. If you find a Glasair 2
with Van's wheel pants they add another 6 to 7 knots over Glasair factory
supplied. My Glasair2S was clocked at the 1994 Sun and Fun race doing 227 mph
with a 190 hp engine. One of the fastest Glasair2's FT 200Hp is owned by
Monte McClain in Crestview Beach Fla. That plane has a newly over hauled
engine and he purchased a three a few years back. Try contacting him.
