I am told that the Glasair that crashed (fortunately not fatal) at SNF
Sunday was the beautiful, highly-modofoed Galsair III, "Jawbreaker,"
that is featured in the April Sprot Aviation. The apparently stalled,
dropped a wing and turned over.

This plane was absolutely gorgeous! The had re-engineered it to take a
Lycoming IO-720, modified to 450 hp. Such a shame!



Gee, now I kind of wonder _why_ it stalled on takeoff.

Obviously not a lack of power.

Anybody want to take a wild guess at the wing loading?
