pmccarthy Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 There is a 1946 Ercoupe on RAAus reg for sale at present. I have fancied one for years. Any comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thruster88 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I like them but have never flown one. We look after one at work. Good solid engine and airframe parts are available from univair. A bit of history and the price is right, I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 It's really not the kind of Plane I go for but don't let that stop anyone. A plane that fly's itself is tending to be too stable for what I like. That doesn't mean I want an unstable plane. It is just something that stays where you put it. Neutral if you can. I don't mind leading any application of aileron with a bit of rudder if I have to and only the pilot knows when aileron is going to be applied and how much and how quickly. The Tripacer had spring interconnection and I didn't like that either . It Half does a job that's easy to do anyhow. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I have no idea how you would handle it in a strong crosswind. It did target a particular market. nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmccarthy Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 The trailing link undercarriage can cope with a crabbed landing. Or there is a retrofit kit for rudder pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
