Sorry to butt in but this scares me a lot! Let's be very careful
giving
advice on this list, you might kill somebody. If you have no rudder pedals
to use (most Ercoupes have none) you won't be able to cross control, so
going to more power in a crab landing will not turn the plane it will only
make the plane fly off the upwind side of the runway. If you turn the yoke
downwind the upwind wing will rise which is not a good position to be in
when landing.Jack G.(U42)Utah N103JF< SN:745
