[COUPERS] Flying an Ercoupe

[Patrick Thompson]

----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- In my search for information about owning an Ercoupe, one pilot recommended I "get a little time in one before buying."  Sounds like great advice.  He also made the following comments about flying a 'Coupe that seem to make good sense.  Can anyone comment?  Thanks.   1.  "...a great cross country plane, but it is not as good for sightseeing as the wings block the view and especially because it won't slow down like a Cub will." 2.  It is best to fly the Ercoupe off a wide runway, especially if you have much wind." 3.  An Ercoupe can "land very short, but it takes a strong stomach as the speeds over the threshold are pretty darn fast." 4.  "Climb with 2 people is scary on a hot day."   Patrick Thompson, [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from this list please send mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________________________________________________ T O P I C A The Email You Want. http://www.topica.com/t/16 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics
