N162CB

This entry describes a specific Glasair Super II RG airframe, registered as N162CB, built in 1995 with serial number 209 and manufactured by Stoddard-Hamilton Aircraft. The airframe is listed on the US registry and is registered to an unnamed owner located in Florida, US, with no publicly recorded owner name or operator company. The Glasair has a two-seat configuration and a building history consistent with 1990s kit-built production by Stoddard-Hamilton; there are no publicly noted extraordinary registry actions or transfers beyond the existing Florida registration. Condition and valuation are not published in the supplied data.

The airframe features a 2-place side-by-side cabin layout typical of the Glasair Super II RG, optimized for pilot-and-passenger training, cross-country personal transport, and sport flying. Avionics fit and equipment are not specified in the provided data; operational profiles can be inferred from its performance figures, supporting long cross-country legs given a 1,258 nm range and a 192 kts cruise speed. Based in Florida, US, typical missions for this aircraft would include coastal and intrastate cross-country trips, personal business travel, and recreational flying. Maintenance considerations center on the single Lycoming O-360 powerplant and the retractable-gear composite airframe; routine engine and gear-system inspections are primary upkeep drivers for this particular airframe.

The Glasair Super II RG (Stoddard-Hamilton Glasair SH-2R) occupies a performance niche as a high-performance, kit-origin, fixed-wing single-engine aircraft offering fast cruise speeds and relatively long range for a two-seat platform. Comparable aircraft in the market niche include other low-wing, composite, kit or amateur-built two-seaters aimed at owner-pilots seeking higher performance than typical certified trainers. Buyer demand typically targets owner-builders and experienced private pilots; maintenance and resale considerations often reflect the condition of the composite structure, the history of builder completion, and the service history of the Lycoming O-360 installed in this airframe.
