Ron,
As I have pointed out, this is not a competition, and there is plenty of room for more than one page, in fact there are several pages out there already on Coupes. My rant is on a lack of support from the Coupers themselves, you yourself are a good example. As you pointed out you bought your coupe from an ad on my page, yet, you never sent me any info so I could include you as a resource or just as another Couper to show the Flying world out there that there a lot of us out there and therefore a popular plane which has the added bonus of boosting value of our often misunderstood planes. Not exactly a good example of someone who is suppose to be promoting these birds. I have no doubt that you have unlimited resources and can do a much more professional looking page than I can. I just hope you get better support than you gave. It's nice that you have a professional staff to maintain your page, and I'm sure that a truly professional and slick site will draw plenty of attention. I'm sure that as time goes by they will even develop affection for these unique little birds. I also hope you put more personal effort into reinventing the wheel than you did in supporting the others of us that already have pages. So listen up there the rest of you,,, support someone, anyone, and in the process support the Coupe. Who knows some day we may become a cohesive group like the Swift or Luscomb owners and get some really meaningful STC's developed.
