Bulent, sorry if I sound redundant but was this Glasair the one that's
called Jawbreaker?  I've read several write-ups about it and was hoping to
hear about its performance at Reno this year as there was talk it was to be
there.    I'm glad to hear that everyone came out of the experience in one
piece. Maybe he'll try again once he's had time to think about it all.

Yes it is the Jawbreaker Jarrett, His wife said THAT'S IT! No more
airplanes. I think it was grossly overdone. Needed 80 lbs of ballast in the
tail. No margin for power loss. On takeoff he had to maintain 6500 fpm climb
To keep the speed down or he would tear the gear doors off. Too bad it is
gone. It was a beautifully done plane.
He still has the monster GM engine for sale. It will make a nice airboat
engine.
