When I first bought my coupe I thought it was a typical nice easy plane to fly, much like my Cherokee or Tri pacer but with no rudder pedals. I read all the old ads from the 40s raving about at last here was a plane that was easy to fly one Joe average could fly with little instruction etc.etc. I had no appreciation of how great a change this was until I bought a C170 two weeks ago and started taking taildragger lessons. My first hour I was every which way except straight down the runway, the second hour was a little better but now I appreciate what a breakthrough the Ercoupe was back in 1946 when everything else was a taildragger.
