Hello everyone, I am considering the purchase of an ercoupe which is listed as a 415C. I've read that the gross weight on this is 1260, which severely cuts down on usable load. I definitely would want the higher gross weight. The plane has been updated to 85 HP. The owner claims that it is capable of handling two adults around 225 lbs at full fuel. (not hot humid days) I am not sure if it has had the elevator restricted to nine degrees. I would think that it would be expensive to alter the Firewall to Stainless Steel. And if it has been altered - (the owner isn't sure) -- what exactly should I look for to make sure it is stainless Steel. I realize that with the 85 HP it probably has the lifting capacity to do this, but, WHAt are the ramifications of not having converted to a D model? Is this something I should be real concerned about, or is it a "technicality" with little consequence.? I would not care to be burned by the FAA if there were some inspection. Any comments or experience would be appreciated.
