While visiting a friend yesterday, I saw a Glasair sitting on the
ramp. My friend said that it is no longer being flown, and was given
to a now-defunct aviation school by the builder. Apparently it has a
blueprinted engine and was flown a good bit before this.

I am simply curious whether there's a person in the homebuilt
community who might be qualified and interested in resurrecting this
orphan... *I have no idea what its condition is - it simply looks
beautiful from a distance.

I have no ownership interest; am just a bystander... it seems a shame
to have a lovely craft like this simply gather dust.

urban myth

Actually, it's not an urban myth. I've had contact with the current
owner and indirect contact with the builder; and with 2 interested
homebuilders since I posted. I am not going to expose anyone's
airplane, n-number, or identity, to a discussion list without their
explicit permission. Sorry. Amongst mostly wonderful people there lurk
(others).

How about sharing with us the region of the country? state? city?

You are correct, it isn't an urban myth. There was an article titled "Why
is white sacred?" that appeared in Soaring magazine back in 1975. I don't
have access to the entire article; however, here is a synopsis.

That is why I like Vinyl ester Resin that's used in the Glasair
composite. It has a tolerance to higher temperatures than epoxy.
