Subaru EG33 powered Glasair passes 850 hours
Several years ago we installed a Subaru EG33 engine in our Glasair aircraft. This Glasair recently crossed the 850 flight hour milestone. During that time we have run in 22 air races of about 150 miles each and are undefeated in our class, plus we hold the class speed record.
My wife wanted to make a short video to mark the 850 hour milestone. She planned a flight with maneuvers and flew her airplane as flight lead to get video of the two aircraft executing her plan. We just posted the results on YouTube. https://youtu.be/7qfxnYisEg8 What a great engine! |
