Ercoupe Information Letter No. 1 (Jan 1, 1956) on "Conversion of Ercoupes to Later Models" has a nice discussion of the -C, -D, -C/D and -E model differences. (From Univair publication 4-00001U "Specifications, AD Notes, STC's")
The +9 degree elevator travel applies to the D only and was to avoid a stall at the 1400lb gross weight. The C had +13, -12 degrees of elevator travel. The -C/D is a D that has had its elevator travel limits reset to +13/-12 degrees and as a result is only certified to 1260lbs to meet the certification requirement that it not stall.
