Interesting facts about the Glasair II
✈ The Glasair II was designed by Tom Hamilton and sold as a kit for amateur construction, so every example reflects builder choices in engines, avionics and finish.
✈ It evolved from the earlier Glasair I and introduced a two seat side by side cockpit under a low wing composite airframe.
✈ Many Glasair II builds use gull wing style doors, which improves access but also makes door fit and sealing an important prebuy check.
✈ Glasair engineered the design around certified Lycoming four cylinder engines, with Super II variants commonly built around the O 320 or O 360 family.
✈ The wing uses a NASA GA(W) 2 airfoil and the design includes flaps, both of which influence low speed handling and landing technique.
✈ Glasair designed the aircraft to FAR Part 23 standards and the wing test program is often cited by builders when discussing structural margins.
✈ Buyers will see multiple landing gear configurations across the family, including fixed tricycle, retractable tricycle and tailwheel layouts.
✈ By late 2011, reports listed about 1,200 completed and flying examples, which makes it one of the more widely completed two seat kit aircraft lines.
Model Variants for buyers to consider when purchasing a Glasair II
The Glasair II family includes the Glasair II-S, plus Super II versions that focus on landing gear preference and mission fit. The Super II FT uses fixed tricycle gear for simpler ownership and fewer systems to maintain, the Super II RG adds retractable tricycle gear for a cleaner airframe and higher cruise potential, and the Super II TD uses fixed conventional gear for pilots who prefer a tailwheel setup. The II-S name is commonly used for a stretched variant, so confirm the exact model designation on the aircraft paperwork and build documents before you compare dimensions, weights or performance claims.
FAQs About the Glasair II
Is the Glasair II sold as a factory built aircraft or a kit?
The Glasair II was produced as a kit for amateur construction, so each aircraft can differ in build quality, systems and equipment. Always review builder logs, inspection sign offs and any major modification records as part of a serious prebuy.
How many seats does a Glasair II have?
Most Glasair II aircraft are built as two place airplanes with side by side seating. Confirm the seating and restraint setup during your inspection because interiors and baggage arrangements vary between builds.
What engines are commonly installed on the Glasair II?
Many Glasair II examples use Lycoming four cylinder piston engines, with Super II models often associated with the O 320 or O 360 series. Confirm the exact engine model, overhaul history and propeller details, then compare them against the aircraft’s operating limitations and maintenance records.
What should I check first when viewing a Glasair II for sale?
Start with documentation, build quality evidence and a clear maintenance history, then look closely at control rigging, door fit, canopy or door seals and any evidence of repairs. If the aircraft has retractable gear, request details of the gear system maintenance and any prior incidents involving extension or retraction.
Which Glasair II variant is best for my mission?
Choose based on gear preference and the type of flying you plan to do. Fixed gear versions can simplify maintenance and reduce system complexity, while the retractable gear version can suit buyers who prioritise cruise speed and are comfortable with additional systems and checks.
