>From memory, the top of the rudder should be 75 inches. This is very important, my 'Coupe gets very squirrly (sic) on the ground if the tail drops. I replaced the rubber bushings every year until I gave up and installed the Belleville springs. This solved the problem (along with the metal washers to make up for my dual fork nose gear).
David Abrams [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ercoupe.com PS I am always ready to buy parts. It keeps my hangar from looking too empty <G>. Let me know when you list them. ---------- From: Jack Lewis[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 18, 1998 1:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tail Height and Parts for sale, Maybe? Coupe Folks: On a coupe with the standard single fork nose gear, what should be the height of the tail? I have limited coupe contact, the only ones that have come into 6A3 have had the twin nose converison. Today I seen one with the single fork and the tail appears to be 6 - 8 inches higher than mine. I'm 6'2" and the tail was about the top of my head. Also, what is the market for Ercoupe parts. I've came into a selection, if I choose to complete the deal, of approximately four planes worth of factor new, never used parts. Including one complete coupe, less engine and interior, and two sets of wings. Just like to know if a discount parts list on my a web page could be justified before I try and arrange the dollars. Anyone ever do any sales in the parts bussiness that could give me some advice. Jack
