    The Glastar specs can be found at: http://www.glasairaviation.com/glastarspecs.html

    A few are for sale on Barnstormers: http://barnstormers.com/Experimental...lassifieds.htm

    You can get a decent basic VFR one that is flying for under $50k. If you want more fancy stuff like a C/S prop, glass panel, there are some that have sold for under $65k in the past year or so.

    Beautiful airplane. If you haven't flown one, you owe it to yourself to get a ride in one before making your decision.

    I went through a similar dilema many years ago and made a list of all my needs/wants and the pros and cons of what was available at the time. The Murphy Rebel always came out on top. The Glastar was one of the contenders but its finished price was nearly double for a gain of a few mph but not much else. This was for MY needs and what I had decided was important for a cost basis.
    I ended up buying a Rebel kit. I started in and have yet to finish. Life happens and numerous military moves led me to store it until I am finally settled.
    I also purchased a damaged Rebel that has a Subaru conversion I am selling. I have some of the parts to repair it and think it could be put back into the air within a couple of months by someone knowing what they are doing.

    Some of the larger Kitfox models (5-7) should be considered. Even the model 4 (IV-1200, classic) has a pretty good useful load (~600 lbs) if your looking for LSA.
