I just spoke with an owner of a '66 Alon with a 200+serial number, but I forgot to ask him about sliding seats. But "The Ercoupe--A Touch of Class" indicates on page 390, repeating an article from "Plane & Pilot", that the 1966 coupe A2-A, the 2+2 version (2 adult and 2 children) had bucket seats that were adjustable while in flight and had a 6 inch travel, rather than 4 inches. But I've not seen or heard anyone with a slider frame. I don't really need a sliding seat, but it could be a usefull change for some. Ken Doyle >> Ken I have owned a 1961 Forney serial # 5745 1965 Alon and 1966 Alon serial # A-124 and now my 1967 Alon A2 serial # A242 and all of them have the same type of bucket seats. The change might have been with the A2-A and I don't know just when that serial # started. Another interesting picture I noticed in one of my old Aircoupe books ERCOUPE BY LOUIS N. BUFFARDI CALLED THE TWIN TAIL TIGER. was a picture of a Triple Tail Tiger. Grady Thresher joined two stock Ercoupes to create this twin engine version. He flew it over 1,250 hours in air shows and demonstations. Also a picture of the retractable landing gear that erco developed.
