What should I check when buying a used Glasair I / II / III?

On a used Glasair I / II / III, check airframe hours, engine time since overhaul, avionics generation and damage history before anything else. PlaneFox recommends a pre-purchase inspection by an EASA Part-145 shop that knows the type, which typically costs EUR 1,500 to EUR 3,500. Under 1,500 airframe hours is low-time and above 3,500 means budgeting for higher maintenance; most piston engines run a 2,000-hour TBO, so past 1,500 to 1,700 hours since overhaul expect the overhaul within one to three years at EUR 25,000 to EUR 45,000. Read the full logbook history for prop strikes, gear-up landings and structural repair, and confirm ADs and SBs are complied with.

About the Glasair I / II / III

Aircraft overview

The Glasair I / II / III family is a line of two-seat, composite, kit-built sport aircraft originally developed by Stoddard-Hamilton Aircraft in the United States. The original Glasair I first flew in the late 1970s and entered the kit market in the early 1980s, followed by the enlarged Glasair II and the higher-powered Glasair III. These aircraft matter because they helped define the modern composite homebuilt category: sleek fiberglass construction, efficient aerodynamics and performance well above many certified two-seat aircraft of the same era.

Performance & specifications

Performance varies significantly by model, engine, propeller, landing gear configuration and build quality. Typical Glasair I and Glasair II aircraft use Lycoming O-320, O-360 or IO-360 series engines, with fixed or retractable landing gear depending on variant. Cruise speeds commonly fall around 160 to 210 knots. The Glasair III is a substantially different, higher-performance model, normally powered by a 300 hp Lycoming IO-540 and fitted with retractable landing gear, with typical cruise speeds around 240 to 260 knots. Reported range is often in the 700 to 1,000 nautical mile class, depending on fuel capacity and power setting. Useful load is build-dependent, commonly several hundred pounds, and service ceiling figures are typically in the high teens to low 20,000 foot range for well-equipped examples.

Cabin & avionics

All Glasair I / II / III aircraft are two-seat, side-by-side designs with a compact sport-aircraft cabin. Access, seating position and baggage capacity should be assessed in person, as interior finish and ergonomics vary widely between individual builds. Avionics are not standardized. Older examples may retain analog flight instruments and legacy radios, while upgraded aircraft often feature Garmin G3X, Dynon SkyView, Advanced Flight Systems displays, Garmin GNS or GTN navigators, ADS-B equipment and modern autopilots. Garmin Perspective and G1000 are not typical factory-standard installations for this kit-built series.

Buying & value

Prospective buyers should evaluate the specific airframe rather than relying only on model reputation. Key checks include build documentation, weight and balance data, landing gear condition, fuel system workmanship, control rigging, composite repairs, engine history and any major modifications. Common value drivers include retractable gear, constant-speed propellers, IO-360 or IO-540 power, modern glass avionics, paint quality and documented maintenance. The Glasair III usually sits at the top of the family for performance and price, while Glasair I and II examples can offer lower acquisition costs. Current PlaneFox listing data shows an average asking price of about EUR 86,000, with observed asking prices from roughly EUR 40,000 to EUR 177,000.
