This plane really is great!!!! I just saw the video and I must say that this is a plane im willing to but...The kits are so reasonably priced and I hear that their not that difficult to make. Just an amazing airplane!!!!

The Sportsman is designed around the 180hp O360 - the O320 is really too small for it.

Reminder: It's not a great high density altitude plane, at least with an O-320 and fixed pitch prop.

FINALLY! I am so glad Glasair put this video up on YouTube. This is my dream plane and several times a day I might watch this video. I hope that other Sportman pilots will post video of their adventures in their Sportsman. For me, this is the plane that I am saving up for and will eventually buy. Way to go Glasair for giving us an airplane that will take us into the backwoods, for a picnic in the Arizona desert during February, or do that cross country at speeds that make flying fun.

The amazing thing about this airplane is it's for real. I recently got to fly it (the tri-gear version) and what a hoot! It really does do what they say it will.I'm a Glasair builder, and that's a great kit, but this thing is top of the line. You really can build one in 2 weeks. I saw one at Sun 'n' Fun built by an owner in that program.Check it out!
