| Overview | |
| THE ULTIMATE GLASAIR III, DELIVERING BRUTAL PERFORMANCE IN TOTAL COMFORT This highly modified Glasair III Version II is the ultimate expression of speed, precision, and craftsmanship. Professionally built at Jim Muldoon’s Glasair factory assist shop and just completed an open checkbook 2 year restoration and full airframe IRAN. Featuring a new $150K “dream panel” by Coastal Winds Avionics, a $75K freshly IRAN verified Lycoming IO-540 with only 455 hours, a new custom $45K Hartzell propeller, new Beringer wheels and antilock brakes, and a meticulously refinished paint scheme. Aerodynamic refinements include more than 1,000 hours of computational fluid dynamics modeled wing and wheel well reshaping, a Version II extended rudder and ventral fin for fully developed spin recovery and carbon fiber components throughout. With Reno Air Racing pedigree, ZEX nitrous installed (demonstrated 302.98 knots) and a luxurious new leather interior with custom stitching, this Glasair delivers exhilarating speed while offering comfort and confidence unmatched in its class.
