Nope. * One just like it, though.

Boy, these guys are taking a terrible hit these last couple of weeks.
Lost a Glassair III en route to a fly-in of air racers in Iowa City
last week, too.

The Glasair was a beloved couple from Spruce Creek. I looked at the
national weather last night -- all of Iowa was one big storm, with snow
& ice in part of it.

I don't think an SX-300 would carry very much ice before you got into
deep trouble -- likewise, a Glasair III.- Hide quoted text -

Orval, I know all you guys down at Spruce Creek are close. Sorry for
your loss.

I agree the Glasair, SX 300 and all the other "slippery" planes have a
low tolerance for any kind of build up on the wing surface.
