TV Guy Evan Farmer Builds A ‘Sportsman 2+2’ In Two Weeks!

 In fact, pretty much anybody can build a Glasair Aviation ‘Sportsman 2+2’ that quick if you go thru their ‘Two Weeks To Taxi’ program.  It’s pretty innovative, and this video from late 2008 with TV personality Evan Farmer really helps to show the process.  It also helps you believe that it’s really possible to build the entire airplane that quickly. 

 The Sportsman 2+2 is an extremely versatile airplane with lots of configurational options and strong overall performance on either the 180hp or the 210hp option.  I think it really helps bridge the gap between a ‘normal’ factory airplane and the sometimes very compromise oriented homebuilts.  This airplane is full of genuine utility.

 I did a really nice interview with one of the factory guys from Glasair Aviation up at Oshkosh that I should have ready to go as a podcast here before long.  It was during that interview that I went from kinda knowing what the airplane was, to thinking wow, this is a really great flying machine!
