Design and development
The Sportsman 2+2 was developed from the company's Glastar aircraft, a smaller version. The company's 'Two weeks to taxi' program provides factory-assisted assembly, while providing the owner with training in using tools and jigs. This complies with the Federal Aviation Administration's 51% construction rule, allowing issuance of a Special Certificate of Airworthiness as an amateur-built aircraft.
The aircraft can be converted from a tricycle configuration to a tailwheel configuration in less than an hour and can also be equipped with floats and amphibious floats or tundra tires. The aircraft's wings can be folded back for storage or transport.
The aircraft is constructed with a fiberglass fuselage,or optionally from carbon fiber, with all metal wings and horizontal stabilizer and elevator. This model has since been completed by over 400 customers. The airplane is available with a 180 hp (134 kW)Lycoming IO-360 engine or a 210 hp (157 kW) Lycoming IO-390 engine with an optional constant speed propeller.
