This mail is from Brian, -Tom -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Bailey Sent: Friday, December 04, 1998 5:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Coupers Digest Subject: Franklin Responce Greg your response to the Franklin mod was well put. My father introduced me to the Ercoupe when I was about ten years old, my brother and I would share the right seat. I decided to buy an Ercoupe to defer the cost of getting my license. While searching I met an older gentleman at a local airport, he was an instructor an A&P and owned about 4 Coupes through out the years. Needless to say he was a wealth of information, but that's another story. I used him as my primary Instructor in both his Alon and my bone stock 415-C. As Willie said, they all fly about the same. 75 to 100 hp, it's all a trade off. I enjoy flying both but they are different planes. In my opinion, if you want the advantages of an Alon buy an Alon. Other wise keep it the was it was designed, Fred did a great job.
