Current Status: Left Wing

All left wing skins are drilled and deburred. The latest construction involves installing the spar cap strips in the left wing, then we move on to dimpling the skins and countersinking the spars.

Completed so far:

Rudder
Horizontal stabilizer
Elevator

About the GlaStar

The GlaStar is a versatile kit-built airplane with folding wings and seating for two (by design), but we intend to install a jump seat for a third person.

Wings and tail surfaces are constructed with aluminum, and the fuselage consists of a steel-tubing cage enclosed in a fiberglass shell.

This airplane can be configured as a tail-dragger or with tricycle landing gear. Ours will be a tricycle, like the one in the photo on the right.

Various engines are suitable for the GlaStar. In order to keep it simple, we'll use a Lycoming O-360 or a clone such as the Superior XP-360 with a fixed-pitch propeller.
