I agree, "From the Ground Up" is an absolutely terrific book. Inspiring _and_ fascinating. Fred Weick was an utterly amazing guy. We owe him a great deal, and not just for bringing the Ercoupe to the world. You got that right Spike, the 'coupe is indeed a shrine.
Barnes and Noble.com has it for $47.50. (yikes!) Amazon.com says it is out of print (huh?). I have a catalog from a Wisconsin company called Historic Aviation, phone number 1-800-225-5575. "From the Ground Up" is listed for $19.95, marked down from $41.95. Part number is 4351N. Standard shipping is $4.95. I've had this catalog since early December, so I would make sure it is available to ship when I called to order. I can't find it in Sporty's catalog. My local public library has it, maybe yours does too. regards, Steve ----------------------------------- Steve Greenhow Austin, Texas USA email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realtime.net/~magbo/ (nom de plume "Downwind Jaxon") ----------------------------------- At 08:46 PM 2/1/00 -0800, you wrote: >I too am reading the book.
