Article in The Detroit News: Barber who built Glassair in his barber shop had the engine stall 20 ft off the ground on its first flight. Fortunately, he was not hurt, but the plane's prop and landing gear were bent plus the wing will need extensive repairs. A close shave! Perhaps he didn't clean out the shavings from the fuel intake? The Glassair seems to be a good airplane, but its speed (220 mph cruise) makes it a bit difficult to handle.
