Filed under: Wings

How fast can you go from an airplane kit to a fully functional flying aircraft? We've written about Glasair Aviation's kits before but now they are picking up the pace. A new Glasair Aviation program says you can go from kit to flight in three weeks. Aero News Network has details on the Glasair Aviation "2 Weeks to Taxi" customer assembly program. Recently a customer put together his own Sportsman 2 2 aircraft and flew it in 22 days. According to the article, the customer, Marc Cook worked standard 40-hour weeks to put the plane together. Deliveries for the new kit should start in the 4th quarter of 2006. It's the ultimate learning experiences for those who want to know more about what they are flying.
