What is a Glasair Super II FT?
It's a composite

Aviation, which is located in Arlington, Washington.
This particular kit is a low-wing, two passenger,
single-engine model with fixed landing gear.

How long will it take to finish
construction?
This will depend on a lot of
factors, such as time commitment per week, and how
picky I am with certain steps. I purchased the
Jump Start options for the fuselage, wing, and
stabilizer. This should give me about an 800
hour head start according to the factory. My
initial guess is 2 years of construction time before
first flight. Various accounts I have read
estimate the effort at around 2000 hours.
