Oh! I thought it was the frame for the fuselage.

If anyone knows of a F1 rocket EVO or a 300-SX for sale please let me know. The Duke has quite a bit of interest already and appears that it may sell quickly. Would like to have something fun yet this summer!

Todd,

Get an Extra 300 or equivalent. They takes years to get great in and you never stop learning. There is always more plane there than the pilot. And they allow a pilot to compete ( at contests ) on real pilot skills. I think thats what most of aviation does not have, so guys compete by buying the most gadgets for the plane and not skill competition so its a constant treadmill.

Too much $, Certified aircraft with expensive parts/avionics, low useful load. Great airplane if you want to do aerobatics or fly on the edge, but not what I am looking for.

Hi Brian - I want an F1 with an EVO wing. You get faster top speed and a lot more useable fuel. I think I really want an SX-300 though

Rocky,

Actually, no, lol! I don't want to prove anything. I am an average pilot that wants to get from point A to point B as fast as possible on the minimal amount of $. The Extra 300 is an awesome plane for aerobatics and I am sure is a challenging plane to fly. It is not what I am looking for.

Been Following with interest. Flying 36TN between Washington and Arizona by myself. Have same perspectives as Todd on experimental. Had a Glasair I 15 years ago and loved it.

Love my Turbo Normalized engine.

Glasair III 300 HP At 15,000 engine develops 50% power or 150 HP.
Glasair I 180 HP IF TN then at 15000 at 80% power it yields 145 HP.

Will speed at altitude be about equal???

Glasair III sells for 125-150K.
Glasair I sells for 60-80K (without TN most likely). 4 cylinders instead of 6. Simple and dependable.

I am ready to hunt down my old Glasiar I and upgrade it!!
CHEAP and FAST!!
If cheap enough, I keep the A36TN or grap a partner for it.

Where is my thinking off?

Talk me out of buying a Glasair III
