rwbready- how easy is it to get insurance on the glasair? I heard it was kinda hard.

[rwbready]

@TRANSFORMER2508  Its not hard. We went through AOPA's insurance arm and keep the amount of coverage down. We have liability coverage, but not hull insurance. We're taking a risk, but keeping the price down.

thank you for giving me the possibility to see alll these flight impressions which help me to prepare myself . I have yust finished my Glasari 2 RG, the plane has been test flown by a professional and now its up to me to see if I have enough skills to fly it.

I had to teach myself how to fly our Glasair. We did 5 or 6 high-speed runs, then without rotating too much, let the plane come off on her own. We flew to a nearby airport with a 7,500 foot runway and took our sweet time in the first flanding. Keep your speed up until you are in ground effect. I don't know how the model 2 differs from the model 1, but be cautious and systematic in your test flying (you are the one being tested). There will be surprises. Good luck.

I hope the comment on music and videos isnt taken as a slight. Some of us are reduced to enjoying through others the experience of flight. I do appreciate the fact that people are willing to share the fun.

[rwbready]

no problem. Happy to share

you lucky guy......

Thanks for the write back,I was curious because I'm  interested in buying a Glasair 2

[Hobiehawk]

thanks a lot for your recomendations. Today I made some approaches in a similar plane, a Rans-16 Shecary, the only problem seems to be our short grass runway of 700m, diferent from your airport, who is a real dream.

Best regards, Martin

Well, to each his own, I guess. Personally I like adding a music piece that reflects my experience and the mood I felt in the flight. I agree however, Danger Zone is thoughtlessly overused.
