Anyone need less? 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.

Anyone need less? 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. a message dated 9/12/2011 3:21:54 P.M.
