Default Glasair rescue possibility?

For GlasStar with high wing, yes. But a regular low-wing Glasair has
all composite structure for the wings, fuselage, and tail. I think
it's a vinylester system instead of epoxy.

If it is covered with any decent light-colored paint or gelcoat it is
unlikely to have been significantly damaged by exposure to the sun.

Thanks, Bob K.
