Stoddard-Hamilton went through bankruptcy and emerged as New Glasair. New Glasair was sold to Jilin Hanxing Group and renamed Glasair Aviation. Glasair Aviation sold all rights to the Glasair aircraft to someone in Australia, but kept the Sportsman 2+2 and, to a limited degree, continued to support the GlaStar.

Now they are moving all operation to China. See the following note.

Dear Customer,

Our parent company Jilin Hanxing Group has made the tough decision to move the Sportsman production to China. Glasair Aviation USA, will be delivering existing kit orders and no longer taking new kit orders during this transition. Parts orders placed prior to 7/31/23 for items in stock will be shipped from our Arlington facility. Parts orders placed after 7/31/23 will be shipped from our facility in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province, China once it is up and running. We will continue offering technical support services from the U.S. via email from [email protected]. Customer files will stay in the U.S. allowing us to continue offering original bill of sales.

Thank you,
Ran Fang
