I'm no expert on this either. However, the serial number 2868 Ercoupe is also covered under Aircraft Specification A-787 with NO conversion required to the wing to get the gross weight up to 1400 lb.
This probably won't help you on you Forney F-1A with gross weight of 1450 lb. but it seems to me it should be all that is needed for a Forney F1. The F1 shares the same gross weight (1400 lb.) with the 415-D listed in A-787 for those serial number wings. Even considering all that, if there was a wing strengthening after s/n 2868 you would want it on your Forney. And who knows what the FAA would think about anything? Certainly not me. Just wanted to mention the type certificate information in case that could help you or someone else lurking here. I think that the MOST VALUABLE PUBLICATION A COUPER COULD OWN IS UNIVAIR'S "ESS" "Specifications, A.D. notes, S.T.C.s". I think that if you can point to supporting words in the type certificate "aircraft specification" you are 80% of the way to anywhere. -- Ed Burkhead Peoria, Ill.
