It seems that there are some remarkable deals out there for 200 mph used
Glasairs, but I would hesitate to buy one simply because I wouldn't trust
the workmanship.

What's the consensus on this issue? Is this a valid fear, or -- as some
have told me -- does the workmanship on the average home-built meet or
exceed that of the average Spam Can?

Jay,

If this is really a concern, then go with a Van's.

Unless you intend to learn about composites to do your own repairs, then the
Van's will be a better purchase anyway. OTOH, if you want to learn about
composites, you can educate yourself to the point of being able to examine
glass work for quality and safety.

The rest is finding someone who knows the type to tell you what parts of any
particular design just like you have done on cert planes.

You getting bored up there in winter?
