My future midlife crisis mistress. My wife was ok with it ;)

And your plane have the best engines out there !!

Need winglets on the Glassair it would look even cooler!!

It's funny how almost every male in the video has a mustashe

Why oh why didn't they keep the GlaStar in production? It was just the perfect Aircraft The Sportsman 2+2 has gone "upmarket" and is ridiculously expensive these days.

Radical- because it looks basically, "stock."

A kit. Wait, what? I've been touring a plethora of kit plane and plenty of certified plane videos. This "video" shows Stoddard Hamilton planes to be shockingly well thought out in design, implementation, tolerance, eg. serial numbered components. And especially, employee ownership of the corporation. As old school as is this video, it is an excellent documentary. Has a feel and sound like documentaries produced by giant aerospace companies delivering on DoD contracts. A 70s 80s flavor, yet timeless given the detailed aspects provided by this film. As far as documentaries go, this is one of the best I've seen on RUclips. And I've been a RUclips subscriber since inception. I am hooked. 👍😎👍 Excellent production. Even Stoddard Hamilton films are: Apex centered.

I have 15 or twenty hours in one. It is definitely a good airplane. But it is WAY too tight in the cockpit. If I were to build one I'd either build it a lot wider, or else I'd make it a two place like a super cub. It is just too narrow inside to be considered a four seater. But that was the only complaint I had with it.

I want a 111

Seems a little optimistic.. 11:20 they claim 245 mph for a 180 hp version.. yet owners of the Glasair 3 300 hp claim 250 mph. I fly a 180hp Glasair 2 and get 190 knots, or 218mph. Still impressive but they don’t need to stretch the specs..

I grew up in Arlington where they are made . we lived at the end of the runway .. used to watch them fly over in the early stages of development of the model III.. always liked the Glasairs .. the speed . the sound

evoke said to do my rv-10 windows this way...Looks amazing!

This is perfect! Thanks! I’m looking at a used kit and brought up a lot of things I wasn’t thinking of.

This video posted in 2014 but I think it is much older. Still to this date, there is no other homebuit that can do what this plane does overall.

Currently doing an AESP project on this aircraft.

thx for sharing.Kit no 7164

do they make a 4 place Glasair ??

The performance of the III model is simply mind boggling

Thank you

This is an awesome airplane , please get with the times and get on social media and promote yourselves,( just don’t get woke and sjw or bend the knee for things you really don’t stand for)

What certified plane can come even close to this performance? At this price point.

Spin recovery over a Concord? Not sure many people can say they did that.

Too expensive.

Not sure if you are monitoring this video still but...I am considering a Glasair as my first plane. I am just starting my piloting “career” and my local flying club seems to be pretty busy. Wonder if it’s worth considering? Or too much for a new pilot?

You can buy a real airplane for the price of the sportsman.

Nice!

360p ? what a joke

Do glastars make good bush planes.

I think Glasair needs to stick with what they are the best at, that badass Glasair III that goes 3 hundred miles per hour at 11 gallons per hour, that pulls up to 5 g's withour breaking a sweat. Maybe strengthen the gear on it and put some big flaps so we could land it on undeveloped grass strips too

Would a 3/4 ton truck be sufficient to haul/pull the sportsman, on an appropriate trailer,on a trip?

Looks like a 1970 video

Nice landings

I love this airplane I want one very much but what I would like to know that I have not been able to find anywhere is how much baggage can you fit with 4 passengers. I would love to see pictures of four people sitting in the airplane with baggage.

Glasair III fun Ap, got to build one..

🙆🙆😲😲😲😲😲

where could i see the cutaway of this aircraft?

I wish Glasair could produce these kits again. They only do the high wing kits now.

I just want one with ALLISON 250(Rolls Royce ) engine with 450 hp.

Lol, "next of kin" was a bit of a Freudian slip. Might have missed an editing opportunity. Still some good dark humor value though.

Great video! Loved the interviews with the pilot and the owner. I really want one!

Lot of talking in front of finished assemblage after build work. Not much actual footage walking viewers through the build process.

So just how much better does the 390 climb? Zero data given. Worthless video

I especially like their point 2! 😂😂

Does anyone know why Glassair stopped maintaining their website? This day and age a Company Website is the FRONT DOOR to the company. The last thing they stated was that some students were going to travel to Arlington from back east. Did they arrive? What did they do? Did they enjoy their visit, or did they just get drop-kicked like the website? I'm on the fence on either buying a Just Aircraft Superstol, or the Sportsman 2+2. I still have not seen any STOL performance data that shows its take-off and landing accomplishments, which makes me ask "Why". I did take a demo flight with Alan Negrin and I was impressed with its take-off power, but that was not enough for me to pull the trigger on one. If anyone here has a 180HP 2+2, can you share your performance data? Do you like the factory support? Regards, Stan McClain

Do you think I could take 3 other adult passengers with camping gear on this plane?

People paying for the two weeks to taxi obviously have the disposable income to spend more, which for the majority of homebuilders is not the case. For the same money go out and but a good used 182 on floats!

How did this go broke twice?

I want one

Glasair is a pioneer in aviation. Amazing planes that hold many records and set new standards for utility and efficiency.

If only the general aviation corps and financiers get the fact that, that is a ton of cash. Financing at lower rates needs to happen or ga will not flourish and will remain the hobby of the rich or very well to do. Funny the air belongs to all,of us. Assuming a 2000 hr build time with costs of components (efis displays are way over priced) including engine. $125,000 should buy a lot of airplane and still leave 20k+ profit. 40k for components, 40 k to build, 20 k for engine, 20k for profit r search etc. just my opinion is all! And used certified airplane prices are just ridiculous, hence all the planes for sale for years at a time. Fair market value gets things sold! Inflated prices keeps thing in the “for sale” column!
