Nice intro. Please can you make a step-by-step step playlist of the build videos

FYI: I found that Glasair used leaded gelcoats completely f-ing up internal antenna's

how is build?? for me its been 12 mounts of Sundays installing all Garmin Glass + EFI & E-ignition SDS

Where's the Glasair?? I also have a Glasair 1 Turbo charged intercooled EFI & dual EI, 76 gallons, All Garmin and still working on glass upgrade 13 mounts LMAO

Do you still have the Glasair?

Happy to find your project. I just purchased a Glasair 1FT kit partially built myself. Never built an airplane so the challenge begins.

I too recently acquired an old unfinished Glasair 1. Looks like my kit was originally shipped in 1984 and is in really excellent shape with very little work done. Mine is not an RG but came with both FT and TD gear. Will be following.

Huge camera improvement and great vids, hope you continued documenting even if it's only for your own sake. If you happen to be in the coastal NC area I'd love to chat and lend a hand if needed.

Hey, have any plans for the Lancair hanging from the ceiling? Buyer here.

Where's the Glasair??

Lucky find! Literal and figuratively a time machine!

Glasair 1 Turbo R/G

I am also looking for a large rudder so I can splash a mold!!!

Good video, I am sure you know this but u can not use ant filler, glazing putty, Bondo, primer & paint with any LED in the chemical content. We made this mistake and none of the built-in antennas work very good due to the primer we used...lol

One this is for sure, Glasair pilots are so approachable, great people. I have an SII-TD O-360 CSU.

Time lapse of the build is also cool to watch.

I reckon the best way to do it is build two. Once you learn how to do the job, it’ll be quicker the second and third time. Keep one, sell the other. I’m half joking but half serious.

advanced-aero.com/ that's the company that made the carbon kits, but from what I've read it was only an introductory limited run production run of them :(

I was a Young fella growing up in Regina Sask Canada when I saw my first Glasair, It was love at first sight. I really like how this design takes all the advantages of working in glass but maintains some very classic appeal at the same time. Some fast glass kits look like an over used bar of soap with wings. I likely won't get any closer to Glasair ownership then the framed poster of Bob Herendeen pulling a Saturn 5 with Mount Baker in the background. Interesting that the picture of Bob in N540RG was shot with Mt. Baker on the same radial of sight as my view where I now live in Whatcom county Washington state. Thanks for sharing your build and I look forward to your progress.

Good for you! Reach out to me any time if you have Glasair questions.

You've chosen an outstanding aeroplane to build. Still miss mine. All the best with the build - I'll be following its progress with a lot of interest. Cheers, Jim.

Fun to watch a build like this, thanks. Would like to see more of the work being done as that is most interesting part.

I also built a G1-RG been flying it since 2004. Took me almost 20 years to finish it. I also have dual sliding canopies and am glad I went that route. Much nicer for taxing in hot weather. You should also consider to add the dorsal extension in front of the vertical stabilizer. Makes it more stable in yaw. Let me know if you'd like to make contact

Zikes! That approach was sketch! How is the KR's directional stability?

following along!

More fumbling!

Cool project! Can't wait to see new episodes!

So what’s your plan for the Lancair hanging from the ceiling? Selling it?

Good luck, my Glasair 1 r/g turbocharged is 245ktas @ FL220 Dad turned wing fuel into 56.5 gallons + 9.5 in header + 10 gallons in wing tips, added much needed speed brake in belly pan. Adding Garmin G3x, G5, 750x, auto pilot, digital circuit breakers + more Orlando Avionics. Richard

Looks great, Gabe! 😁👍👍👍
