  • The engine failure was from a contaminated fuel injection servo -- cellophane on the air-side of the diaphram... This was not fuel contamination or builder related.

  • Great video, thanks for posting! For all others: there are some great live footage of the test flight half-way in the vid. Must have been a proud moment. I'm hoping to build a glasair, or maybe a lancair, myself some day. How long did it take to build? What engine are you using?

  • Thanks Embryo! It took 5 years and it's a 300-horse IO-540.

  • The ASF database says on 4/19/93 power was lost due to plastic debris (prob from construction) lodged in the fuel injector causing power loss and subsequent collision w/ trees, terrain during force landing. Minor injuries.

  • How did this plane get destroyed? I think it would be a useful lesson for us GA pilots. FAA lists registration as canceled for being destroyed in '95. Registered in '85. I'd say the test pilot's haircut verifies the date :)

  • you can still live ur dream and fly in one. do it!!

  • Gosh, I am still amazed by someone who has the brains and cash to build his own airplane. I'm visually impred and can't fly but I can still dream. Congratulations sir...

  • Congrats on your accomplishment, I hope to have one of these in the future as well...what was your full build time? What did you feel was the most complex part of the building process? Thanks, happy flying!

  • Man, that's wonderful! The Glasair III is an awesome aircraft and, just as you, i have plans to buy one myself in the future! Congratulations for your achievement, and enjoy it! Bye!

  • does glasair do the 2 week to taxi program for the glasair II/III or just the sportsman ?

  • I'm looking into getting A Glasair III and I wanted to know how much it cost in total to make this wonderful aircraft
